I love the way The Message translation paraphrases Jesus' instruction for prayer. In Matthew 6, Jesus instructs His disciples:
"With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply."
The prayers of the formerly orphaned and vulnerable children living on the farm are simple, grateful, and sincere. Here is a small sampling of some of their precious conversations with our Creator.
"Thank you God. We love you soooooo much! For the food. For Make Shongwe, Sis Hlengiwe, Babe Make Kopp, Sis Mandi, everyone. The cows to eat. The eggs. Amen." - Mhukelko
"Thank you God. For us. You love us. Amen." - Mukelo
"Thank you Jesus. We love you. We love you soooooo much. The cake. Amen." - KK
