• We walk around with a lot of “weight”
• We’ve got to pray daily and continue to lift up our family & community
• Relationships are everything
• No need to be fancy or use unnecessary vocabulary
• Just talk to Him

Papa would get on his knees and this is how he would pray:

He’d say,

“God, it’s Bud here.

I tilled the ground.

Got it all plowed up.

I put the seeds out.

I got everything ready.

The rest is Yours.

All of what I did means nothing if You don’t bring the rain. I need rain, God.

I appreciate You.

I thank You for sending the rain.

And I thank You for the harvest that we’re gonna get. Amen.”

~ A Pastor speaking about how his father learned to pray from his father, Papa (a sharecropper)
