    Section A In Matthew 5-7‚ Jesus talks‚ about how‚ the Pharisees and Pagans‚ do many simple things wrong‚ like praying‚ almsgiving‚ and just following rules God set out for them.

    poem that tells the story of a woman in a famous church in London and her prayer to the Lord. Each stanza in the poem contains something that the speaker wants from the Lord. And as one reads through the poem‚ a more keen understanding of the woman praying is formed‚ and it is likely drastically different from the original perception gained in the first two stanzas.
