Spoken

Words

I said a prayer

for you

again tonight

just like I do

every night

I close my eyes

and envision

Jesus telling

the disciples how

He prayed

and He always

started His prayers

with " Our Father

Hallowed be thy name"

and so I start

the same way

He did

and then I offer

my prayer up for you

Prayer is powerful

we are spiritual

beings with bodies

He knows all that

we are, do and think

He already knows

what's on

my heart

and mind

He just wants

to hear me

speak it.

““Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

‭‭Matthew ‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV
