“Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.” – Henry Ward Beecher
We don’t need to impress anyone when we pray.
We can pray simply and sincerely, like children usually do.
Pray from the heart. Pray with trust. Pray knowing that your Heavenly Father is listening to you, loving you, and is even more desirous than you are to grant you your prayer, provided that it would be best for you.
The Prayer of a Child
The prayer of a child
is often answered.
It is answered
because it is pure.
It is answered
because it has no fear.
It does not think about the past,
it does not worry about the future.
It is not ashamed to express the truth,
it is not ashamed to express how it feels.
The prayer of a child
goes right up to heaven,
unto the ears of God
who hears it,
because it wants to be heard.
The prayer of a child
is answered
even before it has been uttered.
It was answered
when the child started to pray
with her heart.
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength… – Psalm 8:2, WEBBE
