Intimate Prayer — Noon at the Kitchen Table

An intimate-prayer worship song. Narrator at her kitchen table at noon, alone with one open Bible. Surrender register — quiet, not theatrical. "I" speaks to "Jesus" by name. The specific verse she's been reading is referenced explicitly. Quiet acoustic. Doctrinally grounded; no romance-worship bleed. Congregational singing range.

Parent arc · SA#24

The divine subject must be NAMED, not IMPLIED.

A worship chorus must announce its divine subject within the first chorus. The Ambiguous Pronoun Ratio primitive operationalizes Vince Wright's Berean Test — choruses heavy on "He/You/Him" without anchoring proper noun (God / Jesus / Spirit / Lord / Father / Christ / Holy) fail. 5 substyles span modern hymn → liturgical traditional, each with a distinct tradition-policy layer.

The load-bearing primitive is APR — applied to every worship lyric the forge produces, including Intimate Prayer.
