The story
Jesus sat down on a grassy hill. People gathered all around him, big and small. “Come close,” he said. “Let me tell you about God’s kingdom.”
“Look at the birds,” said Jesus. Tweet, tweet! “They don’t plant or store food, yet your Father in heaven feeds them. You matter even more to him!”
“Look at the flowers. God dresses them in beautiful colors. So don’t worry. God knows just what you need.”
“When you pray,” said Jesus, “you don’t need lots of fancy words. Talk to God the way a child talks to a loving father.”
Then Jesus taught them a special prayer that people all over the world still pray today. We call it the Lord’s Prayer. You can pray it too!
You can pray anytime and anywhere: in the morning, at night, inside, or outside. God always listens when I pray!
