144:5.1 From time to time, during the remainder of [[Jesus]]' [[sojourn]] on [[earth]], he brought to the notice of [[the apostles]] several additional [[forms]] of [[prayer]], but he did this only in [[illustration]] of other matters, and he enjoined that these " [[parable]] prayers " should not be taught to [[the multitudes]]. Many of them were from other [[inhabited planets]], but this [[fact]] [[Jesus]] did not [[reveal]] to [[the twelve]]. Among these [[prayers]] were the following:
----
*144:5.2 [[Our Father]] in whom consist the [[universe]] realms,
*Uplifted be your [[name]] and all-[[glorious]] your [[character]].
*Your [[presence]] [[encompasses]] us, and your [[glory]] is [[manifested]]
*Imperfectly through us as it is in [[perfection]] shown on high.
*Give us this day the vivifying [[forces]] of [[light]],
*And let us not stray into the [[evil]] bypaths of our [[imagination]],
*For yours is the [[glorious]] indwelling, the everlasting [[power]],
*And to us, the [[eternal]] gift of the [[infinite]] [[love]] of [[Eternal Son|your Son]].
*Even so, and everlastingly true.
----
*144:5.3 Our [[creative]] [[Parent]], who is in the [[center]] of the [[universe]],
*[[Bestow]] upon us your [[nature]] and give to us your [[character]].
*Make us sons and daughters of yours by [[grace]]
*And [[glorify]] your [[name]] through our [[eternal]] [[achievement]].
*Your [[adjusting]] and [[Thought Adjuster|controlling spirit]] give to live and dwell within us
*That we may do your will on this [[sphere]] as [[angels]] do your bidding in [[light]].
*Sustain us this day in our [[progress]] along the [[path]] of [[truth]].
*Deliver us from [[inertia]], [[evil]], and all sinful [[transgression]].
*Be [[patient]] with us as we show loving-[[kindness]] to our fellows.
*Shed abroad the [[spirit]] of your [[mercy]] in our [[creature]] [[hearts]].
*[[Lead]] us by your own hand, step by step, through the uncertain [[maze]] of life,
*And when our end shall come, [[receive]] into your own [[bosom]] our [[faithful]] spirits.
*Even so, not our [[desires]] but your will be done.
----
*144:5.4 Our [[perfect]] and [[righteous]] [[Universal Father|heavenly Father]],
*This day [[guide]] and direct our [[journey]].
*[[Sanctify]] our steps and [[co-ordinate]] our [[thoughts]].
*Ever [[lead]] us in the ways of [[eternal]] [[progress]].
*Fill us with [[wisdom]] to the fullness of [[power]]
*And [[vitalize]] us with your [[infinite]] [[energy]].
*[[Inspire]] us with the [[divine]] [[consciousness]] of
*The [[presence]] and [[guidance]] of the [[seraphic hosts]].
*[[Guide]] us ever upward in the [[pathway]] of [[light]];
*[[Justify]] us fully in the day of the great [[judgment]].
*Make us like yourself in [[eternal]] [[glory]]
*And [[receive]] us into your endless [[service]] on high.
----
*144:5.5 [[Our Father]] who is in the [[mystery]],
*[[Reveal]] to us your [[holy]] [[character]].
*Give your [[children]] on [[earth]] this day
*To see the way, the [[light]], and the [[truth]].
*Show us the [[pathway]] of [[eternal]] [[progress]]
*And give us the will to walk therein.
*[[Establish]] within us your [[divine]] kingship
*And thereby [[bestow]] upon us the full [[mastery]] of [[self]].
*Let us not stray into paths of [[darkness]] and [[death]];
*Lead us everlastingly beside the [[waters]] of life.
*Hear these our [[prayers]] for your own sake;
*Be pleased to make us more and more like yourself.
*At the end, for the sake of the [[divine Son]],
*[[Receive]] us into the [[eternal]] arms.
*Even so, not our will but yours be done.
----
*144:5.6 [[Glorious]] [[Universal Father|Father]] and [[Eternal Son|Mother]], in one [[parent]] combined,
*[[Loyal]] would we be to your [[divine]] [[nature]].
*Your own [[self]] to live again in and through us
*By the [[gift]] and [[bestowal]] of your [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]],
*Thus reproducing you imperfectly in this [[sphere]]
*As you are perfectly and [[majestic]]ally shown on high.
*Give us day by day your sweet [[ministry]] of brotherhood
*And [[lead]] us [[moment]] by moment in the [[pathway]] of loving [[service]].
*Be you ever and unfailingly [[patient]] with us
*Even as we show forth your [[patience]] to our [[children]].
*Give us the [[divine]] [[wisdom]] that does all things well
*And the [[infinite]] [[love]] that is [[gracious]] to every [[creature]].
*[[Bestow]] upon us your [[patience]] and loving-[[kindness]]
*That our [[charity]] may enfold the weak of the realm.
*And when our [[career]] is finished, make it an [[honor]] to your name,
*A [[pleasure]] to your [[good]] [[spirit]], and a [[satisfaction]] to our [[soul]] helpers.
*Not as we [[wish]], our loving [[Father]], but as you [[desire]] the [[eternal]] [[good]] of your [[mortal]] [[children]],
*Even so may it be.
----
*144:5.7 Our all-[[faithful]] [[First Source and Center|Source and all-powerful Center]],
*[[Reverent]] and [[holy]] be the [[name]] of your [[Eternal Son|all-gracious Son]].
*Your bounties and your [[blessings]] have [[descended]] upon us,
*Thus empowering us to [[perform]] your will and [[execute]] your bidding.
*Give us [[moment]] by moment the sustenance of the [[tree of life]];
*Refresh us day by day with the living [[waters]] of the [[river]] thereof.
*Step by step [[lead]] us out of [[darkness]] and into the [[divine]] [[light]].
*Renew our [[minds]] by the [[transformations]] of the [[indwelling spirit]],
*And when the [[mortal]] end shall finally come upon us,
*[[Receive]] us to yourself and send us forth in [[eternity]].
*[[Crown]] us with [[celestial]] diadems of fruitful [[service]],
*And we shall [[glorify]] [[the Father]], [[the Son]], and the [[Infinite Spirit|Holy Influence]].
*Even so, throughout a [[universe]] without end.
----
*144:5.8 [[Our Father]] who dwells in the [[secret]] places of the [[universe]],
*[[Honor]]ed be your [[name]], [[reverenced]] your [[mercy]], and [[respected]] your [[judgment]].
*Let the [[sun]] of [[righteousness]] shine upon us at noontime,
*While we beseech you to [[guide]] our wayward steps in the [[twilight]].
*[[Lead]] us by the hand in the ways of your own [[choosing]]
*And [[forsake]] us not when the [[path]] is hard and the hours are [[dark]].
*[[Forget]] us not as we so often neglect and forget you.
*But be you [[merciful]] and [[love]] us as we [[desire]] to [[love]] you.
*Look down upon us in [[kindness]] and [[forgive]] us in [[mercy]]
*As we in [[justice]] [[forgive]] those who distress and [[injure]] us.
*May the [[love]], [[devotion]], and [[bestowal]] of the [[Divine Sons|majestic Son]]
*Make available life everlasting with your endless [[mercy]] and [[love]].
*May the [[God]] of [[universes]] [[bestow]] upon us the full [[measure]] of [[Thought Adjuster|his spirit]];
*Give us [[grace]] to yield to the [[leading]] of this spirit.
*By the loving [[ministry]] of devoted [[seraphic hosts]]
*May [[Bestowal Son|the Son]] [[guide]] and [[lead]] us to the end of the age.
*Make us ever and increasingly like yourself
*And at our end [[receive]] us into the [[eternal]] [[Paradise]] [[embrace]].
*Even so, in the [[name]] of the [[bestowal Son]]
*And for the [[honor]] and [[glory]] of [[the Supreme]] [[Father]].
144:5.9 Though [[the apostles]] were not at [[liberty]] to present these [[prayer]] lessons in their [[public]] teachings, they profited much from all of these [[revelations]] in their [[personal]] religious [[experiences]]. [[Jesus]] utilized these and other prayer [[models]] as [[illustrations]] in [[connection]] with the [[intimate]] instruction of [[the twelve]], and specific [[permission]] has been granted for [[transcribing]] these [[seven]] [[specimen]] [[prayers]] into this [[record]].
