Childlike faith once again

I love going to the church Wednesday nights to babysit. You get to play, Eddie gives a lesson, Mrs. Richard does her mother thing so you learn to parent and get this you get to pray with the cutest kids. Not to mention being humbled by kds who know more than you, they maybe small and young but man they are solid in their faith don't overlook a child who follows Jesus.

There is this new family that has 4 beautiful girls. Laura is the youngest and to guess an age I would say 2-3 but I'm not very sure. She is so cute that she gets away with talking while Eddie is teaching even though Mrs. Richard tries to keep her quiet. But when she answered one of the questions last night with the biggest grin, "Jesus!" Your heart melts because she simple knows Jesus loves her. She was also the first to pray, "Thank you for this day and help us get to airport in Mexico" A little slower and more jumbled. That is childlike faith. According to her sister that is what she has been praying everyday for the last few weeks. Their family is planning on taking a trip to Mexico in a couple weeks and so she has been praying for that.

She made me giggle during prayer and also made me think. Do I have childlike faith? To ask and persist in asking knowing that God will answer my prayer. A child trusts their parents to feed them, clothe them, and protect them. God is our Father so won't he do the same. We ask for financial help he will answer, we ask him to not only kiss our pains away but heal them, we ask for knowledge he grants, we ask for salvation of those so dear to us he will move and draw them...

humble, persistent and trusting we come to him in prayer...

either quickly as with Eliezer(Genesis 24:12-20), abundantly as with Solomon (1 Kings 3:3-14), in time as with Mary and Martha (John 11:1-6), with sufficient grace and power as with Paul (2 Corinthians 12:7-10, with strength from an angel as with Jesus (Luke 22:39-46)...he will answer

to that which will give him the most amount of glory!
