Tuesday, April 15, 2008: little prayers to God.
every week we get an email about the prayer requests from the children at sunday school and with every week's immense lack of time i always just skim through what i thought were childish prayer requests and i just move on to the more important email of the two that i get from shari, ie the lesson plan for the following week.
but strangely this time i took the time to read through each request and i just feel so ignorant to how much love and innocence these children have..
Jason- Pray for my mother and father to become full Christians
Brendan- Pray for my dog to get better and be the normal dog he used to be
Worried about dying
Thankful for my dog not dying
Joy- Pray for more confidence and for more friends. For my brother’s teeth
Worried about my future
Thankful for everything (but not satan)
Joshua O-Pray my grandparents become Christians
Thankful that Jesus died on the cross for us
Hanna- Pray for my grandparents to have a safe trip here
Thankful for all the air and food and water and family
Brienzi- Pray for my Aunt
Worried my Uncle will turn away from God
and these are just some of the prayer requests we got this week.. i wonder if i actually got more self centered as i grew older..
"Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them.
But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." When He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there."
-Matthew 19:13-15
a shout of praise.
