This is a version that Dallas Willard suggests (see the literature link). Try to find how it puts the classic version of Matthew 6:9-13 into todays language. Let it inspire you to translate it better into your own life situation:
"Dear Father always near us
may your name be treasured and loved,
may your rule be completed in us -
may your will be done here on earth
in just the way it is done in heaven.
Give us today the things we we need today,
and forgive us our sins and impositions on you
as we are forgiving all who in any way offend us.
Please don't put us through trials,
But deliver us from everything bad.
Because you are the one in charge,
and you have all the power,
and the glory too is all yours - forever -
which is just the way we want it."
