The Lord’s Prayer

It makes sense that on Sunday, your heart might turn heavenward.  I want you to learn this prayer.  It is a very important Christian prayer.  Christians say it whenever they go to church.  Your Grandmother had me learn it when I was very young in preparation for my baptistism.  I wasn’t baptized until I was seven.  But my name means “sacred to God.” My mother gave me into God’s service by giving me the name I have.  And now, I teach Bible and Hebrew to children at Religious School.  I have been the lay cantor (community songstress) of my temple for over twenty years.  A relationship with God quite simply saves your life from being full of bitterness and despair.  And even though I cannot be there with you right now, all you need do is reach out for God.  He’s there. He can hold your “hand.”  I promise.  Start listening to this prayer.  It speaks of surrendering to His higher purpose.  It speaks of forgiveness.  Please try to learn it.  It is important.
