Children

Some of the most moving and memorable times I have experienced in ministry have been when young children have prayed for me or said something they felt God saying. The faith kiddos have when they pray, and the innocence with which they do so, is a precious and refreshing gift from God to us adults. I often think of the times when the disciples tried to turn away the little ones when Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me” (Matthew 19:14). He also said, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me” (Luke 9:48). What if we made the effort to get the youngsters involved in the times of prayer at home and at church? Sure, it’s a bit messier, but I’m convinced we would see much more of Jesus if we did. Now that’s something to pray about!
