Jennifer
My Grandma Rose used to tell us to pray about things like this.
Madea
Then that's what you ought to do, pray about it, talk to the Lord about it. He'll help you.
Jennifer
Yeah but she only told us to pray. She never told us how. Would you teach me?
Madea
Huh?
Jennifer
Please!
Madea
Show you how to pray?
Jennifer
Yeah.
Madea
Oh, Lord, child, I ain't talked to God since the last time I saw a cop in my rearview mirror. I guess I can try. You know the number?
Jennifer
The what?
Madea
The number. To call him. They say, "Jesus On the Mainline." I don't know the number. Okay, sit back. Bow your head. First, giving honor to God, to the head of my life.

Madea
Father, I stretch my hand... to thee. Father God. God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God of Shadrach, Meshach and the billy goat, who was in the fiery furnace that they barbecued on the day of Pentecost when the Jewish people returned from the Sabbath day up on the mountaintop in Ethiopia. God of Mary J. Blige...
Jennifer
Madea, that doesn't sound right. That's not how Mama Rose used to do it.
Madea
You ain't feel it? You ain't feel the anointing?
Jennifer
No.
Madea
Alright. Well, look, I don't know nothing about praying. But all praying is is talking to God and having a conversation with him. And at the end, you say the name of Jesus. That's your stamp that will get it up there to him. You hear?
Jennifer
Okay.
