The Spirit Speaks


Maia Spoto

Jesus gives us words to pray. I know that’s true, because usually when I’m in bed saying my prayers, the first thing that comes to my mind is ‘um’. But Jesus gives me words to pray, so my prayers aren’t “Dear God, um, um, um…In Jesus’ name we pray, Uhmen.”

This verse in Matthew says that I don’t need to focus on a long prayer- the best prayer is the Lord’s Prayer. The Lord’s Prayer says that we need to praise God, trust Him to do His will, and ask Him for the things we need.   It also says to ask God to help us avoid evil, ask forgiveness and forgive others.

When you think about it,that takes care of everything!

PRAYER:  Dear God, please give us words to pray when we have none. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
