1. God is our creator. Praying is talking to him. Jesus prayed to Him while on earth.

2. Jesus told us to pray and be persistent. He also showed us how to pray, giving us The Lord’s Prayer. (Luke 18:1-8)

3. The Lord’s Prayer is a mixture of celebration, worship and the seeking of God’s mercy and help.

Surprisingly, often, we don’t receive God’s help! Why? Because we don’t ask!

(James 4:2)

• God places no restrictions on where, when or how to pray.

• Pray on the top of the highest mountain and at the bottom of your deepest moment, in the bath and in the bed, sitting and standing, working and resting, when in need and to give thanks.

• Use traditional prayers, music, dance, meditation or whatever other form of communication you enjoy, there God will be.

• Pray with a sincere heart and manage your behavior to reflect the promises you make when you pray. So, don’t forget to listen, others will watch your actions. 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

L: O Lord, open my lips.

R: And my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

L: O God come to my assistance.

R: O Lord, make haste to help me.

L: Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

R: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be; world without end. Amen.

God Listens

I hear no voice, I feel no touch, I see no glory bright but yet I know that God is near, in darkness as in light.

God watches ever by my side and hears my whispered prayer. A God of love for a little child both night and day does care. Amen.

-I Love You, Jesus-
