The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, You are the only real God. People try to make their own. They put their hope in money, fame, or being liked by everyone. But none of that is really God. I do not want to bow down to anything else. Not popularity at school. Not being the smartest kid. Not even my own family if they take Your place in my heart. Keep Yourself first in my heart. Amen.
