With dinner on the table, Ashlyn, Emily, and I began eating. Molly sat in her seat grabbing tiny bites of food from her tray. After a few minutes, her normally sunny disposition was replaced by whining. She only ate if I fed her. Nothing seemed to satisfy.
Molly continued to twist, turn and whine. Nothing helped.
“Let’s pray for Molly,” five year old Emily said. She leaned toward Molly while we all closed our eyes. “God, be with Molly. Help her have a good night. Amen.”
She opened her eyes and smiled at a now silent Molly. With assurance that her sister would be ok, Emily returned to her dinner.
When there is a need, stop and pray. Simple solution. Powerful message. Another sermon from a young child.
Matthew 21: 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing you will receive.
Dear Lord, help me remember to pray immediately when there is a need. Amen
