Why this is the perfect prayer

All the children have grown and flown and their world is new.  Grandpa and I look on with a mixture of admiration and alarm.  So many belief systems have changed but we still feel that there is an unchanging source of truth and it can be tapped into.  We have come to the conclusion that the Lord's Prayer is about as perfect as it gets.  It gives the feeling of a benevolent presence in a universal Father when it says Our Father.  It gives a feel of a greater space than the one we live in when it talks about the Father in heaven.  We might hope for heaven to be right now and we ask for it to be right now here as it is in the perfect world.  We accept that everything we eat has a source in the request that God give us our daily bread.  The prayer  goes straight for fairness in the subject of forgiveness.  Forgiving OUR trespass, our falling away from our best selves is only to be found by forgiving people we think might have trespassed against us.  And then we ask to be delivered from evil.  That's an everyday ask, we drive on roads, we travel around the world, we swim in the sea, we fly in the air and all those places have an evil about them.  No one can say that there isn't a possibility of things going wrong in every place.  Finally we say its over to you when we say for THINE is the kingdom, the power and the glory.  So over to the real Director of operations.
This is a prayer that we could all say and teach and repeat.
