Jesus taught us to pray...
Our Papa in heaven,
You are so good and very cool.
Help us show others that you love them,
and help us listen to you.
Give us what we need today.
Forgive us for our mistakes and selfishness
as we forgive others who hurt us.
Keep us from trouble
and protect us from danger.
Thank you!
