4832 thought… Never Alone
On September 6, 1997 the world paused to turn their attention, and their televisions, to the funeral service of Princess Diana who died tragically in an automobile accident. Toward the end of the service, the Archbishop invited: “Therefore, confident in the love and mercy of God, holding a living faith in God's mighty resurrection power, we, the congregation here, those in the streets outside and the millions around the world, join one another and the hosts of heaven, as we say together, in whatever language we may choose, the prayer which Jesus taught us…” and millions of people across the globe joined to say the Lord’s prayer.


“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.’  Matthew 6:9-13
The Lord’s prayer may have been a prayer you learned/memorized early in life. What other prayers did you learn? (you may find some of these early prayers very beneficial even today!)
When we pray, we get to honestly and humbly talk with God about our concerns and make requests for ourselves and for others.

What are you most in need of today:  protection, guidance, forgiveness, human interaction, strength, hope?  Prayer, joy and action.  How can these three interact and support one another?
When you feel apart, remember you are part of a vast Christian Community!
