Prayer Understanding

"Have you ever wondered if God really hears your prayers—or if there's even a right way to pray? Join this humorous yet heartfelt exploration as a group of friends discovers what prayer truly means. Through laughter, confusion, and an unexpected voice from above, they uncover that prayer is less about getting what you want and more about understanding and connecting with the One who already knows exactly what you need."

Scene Sample:

Jamie, Tyler, Morgan, Payton come on stage, talking.

Jamie: So who called this meeting?
Tyler: No good idea, just got me a text message, told me be here.
Morgan: Same… So, anyone know what’s up?
Payton: My text said: …prayer… what does that mean?

Jamie: Well… prayer is… like… kinda…
Morgan: Let me explain… Prayer is like when you… kinda… like… pray.
Tyler: Thanks for clearing that up Morgan!
Morgan: Let me put it this way… Praying is like when you talk to the big guy.

VOG: I beg your pardon!… The big guy?
(All look around to see where the talking came from.)

Payton: That likely was young Willy Norton, he’s always got something to say.
Morgan: Well, like I say… when I really, really need some stuff, and if all else fails, I sometimes go and like… pray.

VOG: When all else fails?… Am I second choice?

Payton: Willy will you cut that out?

Tyler: I gotta admit, this praying thing, I don’t know much… So, for this praying for stuff… where do you go, what do you do?

Morgan: Well, seems like you get down on your knees kinda.

Payton: Why for on your knees, is that important?… I mean I get sore knees real easy, wouldn’t it be OK if a fella was to sit on a comfy chair?

Morgan: Not sure exactly but from what I’ve seen it’s best to get down on your knees.

Jamie: OK, s’pose you get down on your knees… what then?

Morgan: Well seems like you… fold your hands… (folds hands in prayer),… like this.

Payton, gets on knees, folds hands:
I can do this, anything else we should be doing?

Morgan: Well be sure not to smile or tell jokes or such when you are praying.
