"So when you pray, pray in your normal voice, just like when you're talking to someone you love very much. Like this...
Hello Daddy!
We want to know you.
And be close to you.
Please show us how.
Make everything in the word right again.
And in our hearts, too.
Do what is best- just like you do in heaven,
And please do it down here, too.
Please give us everything we need today.
Forgive for doing wrong, for hurting you.
Forgive us just as we forgive other people
when they hurt us.
Rescue us! We need you.
We don't want to keep running away
and hiding from you.
Keep us safe from our enemies.
You're strong, God.
You can do whatever you want.
You are in charge.
Now and forever and for always!
We think you're great!
Amen!
You see, Jesus was showing people that God will always love them- with a never stopping, never giving up, unbreaking, always and forever love. So they didn't need to hide anymore, or be afraid, or ashamed. They could stop running away from God. And they could run to him instead. As a child runs into her daddy's arms."
