Yeah Joe, right on. He said “After this manner therefore pray ye:…”. Not “repeat after Me… “. Praying by rote is using ‘vain repetitions’ that we were warned against (Matt. 6:7).
When my children were very small, a couple of them prayed, “… and help us to obey our parents…” and then their little brother prayed, “…and help Melly and Collin to obey their parents…”
How I wish I knew about kids like Ruthie would make the day fun!
God always knows what we will pray about we just have to voice it.
Even though it is late and most commentors are done a belated Happy Valentine’s to all. My sweet hubby gave me a very cut small pink teddy bear that will last a long time.

The dying part always worried me when I was a little boy. Now that I’m a a codger, I think this version is much more kid friendly, and funny too.
