My name is Evie. I go to Christian Science Sunday School in Scottsdale, Arizona. In my class when I was twelve, we learned about Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, including the Lord’s Prayer. This prayer is important because it helps us understand Jesus’ teachings and how we can apply them to our lives. It also helps us understand God.

You can read the spiritual sense of the Lord’s Prayer in Mary Baker Eddy’s book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (see pp. 16–17). Reading the spiritual sense helps me because it talks about God being ever present and how we always reflect Him and His love.

A Sunday School class inspired me to put the Lord’s Prayer in my own words, which helped me understand how it applies to me. Here’s what I wrote:

Putting the Lord’s Prayer in my own words helped me learn more about its meaning and made me feel comforted and loved.
