John 3:6

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit"

Translate this as God's wish for all.

You might recognize this prayer that is in a little different form than the wording most of us are used to. When I was given this years ago, I was told it was the Lord's Prayer translated from the Syriac Aramaic. Whether this is true or not is less important than the fact that this wording helps anyone focusing on what it says think carefully and deeply about one of the most popular prayers in the world.
 
In this form, it could be titled,
 
 "A Universal Prayer
for Oneness with God".
 
If you get a chance to print this, put it next to a mirror and read it at least once a day and it may change your life, if not your attitude. You can even share it with spiritual brothers and sisters regardless of their faith community or beliefs. This is one small part of a personal spiritual discipline, and so can benefit anyone. Enjoy!
