Godparents

Lots of us are asked to be Godmothers or Godfathers, it is something that makes us feel special and nervous. On the day of the Baptism we have to stand up in front of the congregation and speak our lines out loud, then we want to care for our Godchild and don't know what to do. I thought I would offer an idea of how to support these children and make a difference in their lives.  If this is the first time you have read this blog it's aim is to encourage you to make the Lords prayer something you do naturally and often.

Where you see a word in Pink if you click on it a link will open up in a new tab.

Instead of saying the Lords prayer off quickly, I am suggesting that we take each phrase and develop it.  So when we say or think your kingdom come we can add your kingdom come in Alison's life (name your own Godchild). When we pray your kingdom come we think of the best that life could offer and we pray it into being. We believe that God's kingdom is wonderful and remember it is just what we want for ourselves and for our futures. Then as we pray your will be done on earth as it is in heaven we are praying for peace, friendship, love, patience, health to surround our Godchildren.

We carry on making these prayers until we have peace, we can pray it quietly at any time of the day or night. I like doing it while waiting at the bus stop or sitting in a traffic jam or during the adverts on TV. You see we don't have to wait until we are in church to pray, we try to remember to pray in the spaces we get when we could either worry or get some peace.

Come back to this blog again for more thoughts on the Lords prayer.
