The prayer of a righteous man tike availeth much!

We were leaving the allergist's office the other day, when I was clicking carseats.
That's when I heard her muttering, "God, please make me better. Jesus please."

Wanting her to expound, I pretended ignorance,
"What sweetie?"

"I'm praying. Because I don't wanna wheeze anymore."

And if you don't believe in the power of prayer (especially by a full-of-faith four year old),
know that her condition went from really bad to perfect, in less than an hour.

Amen!

Oh Amy! (gulp, sniff, [dab]..) That is so sweet!

There is something about the prayers of a child. And for Flynn to be pleading for her healing on her own...that is so precious.

Glad you're feeling better little "mountain mover."

I try really hard myself to "keep the faith" when I hear Josiah pray, "Jesus, please let Jacob start to talk and not be autistic anymore." These kids can really teach us a lesson, cant' they?

Praise the Lord for answered prayer!

I love their earnest prayers. Ava has been praying for one of her preschool teachers for the past few nights. I mentioned that to the teacher this morning, and she told me that she has asked Ava to pray for her. She then said that adults will tell you that they are praying for you, but they forget. Little children don't forget and their prayers are sincere.

Isn't it a blessing to be a mom and hear these sweet prayers?

Jeff & Amy,
You are bringing my grandkids up right! I'd rather have my grandkids praying for me than anybody I can think of!

You are soooo right, Amy- those little ones prayers are amazing. It's like they have a direct line to the Father.
