Teach Me How To Pray? Poem by Catherine Inscore

How Do I Pray?
Is it very hard to do?
how do I speak
to One so powerful and true?

What do I say or dare ask
or share? Oh please I beg of you...
I'm on bended knee.
in Despair

They say He is my Father, tell me
how can that be?
For to long I've been orphaned
lonely just only me

Please I am asking
I want so desperately to pray
to seek the truth everlasting
and live with Christ some day

Ask and it shall be given Seek and ye shall find...
Knock and it shall open
That's what I've heard them say
oh please teach me I ask you,
Teach me to pray.

You say it's really simple?
Like a conversation to my Heavenly Father?
I Can talk to Him not unlike you,
just start by I thank You...

Oh that sounds so very easy,
To thank him for what I have.
For blessing large, small too
Ask Him to keep us safe from harm, and our loved ones too

help us to know just what to do
to please Him, when in what we do.
And when we end each and every Prayer, it is very clear indeed.
We always say, in His Name, Our Savior, Jesus, Christ, our King

Amen
