My nearly three year old is far better at boldness in prayer than I am! It is quite remarkable and inspiring. Recently while at her gymnastics class we saw my friend Jennifer who Abby has never met before. Jennifer was wearing a back brace as a result of recent surgery. Abby gently patted her on the brace and said, "Do you have an 'owie' on your back? We need to pray for you [let me interject...here is where I might say "I'll be praying for you" with the best of intentions and very little follow throuh...NOT ABBY] immediately with head bowed and eyes closed and her tiny little hands up by her face, "Dear Jesus, please help Jennifer's back feel better...AMEN!" Oh-I wish you could hear her say AMEN-you know the word means "let it be so" It is with that spirit that she declares AMEN!
She is also a commited prayer warrior...she will continue to pray for people she knows have on-going illness until she receives confirmation that the person is indeed well. Right now her prayer list is long and growing. She is praying for so many "babies in tummies" and sometimes she shows her age and gets overwhelmed by her long list and she'll say,"Dear Jesus please help EVERYONE!" But other times she'll surprise me with her sensitive heart. Our friend Ryan Morgan had knee surgery over a year ago...when she saw his picture on my computer the other day she said, "We are praying for his knee to get better." I assured her that his knee has healed. I can't believe how long she remembers things! Her fervor spurs me to be more motivated in my prayer life! By the way if you need prayer...don't let me tell you..."Oh I'll pray for you!" Make me pray with you then and there! Of course if Abby is nearby she'll remind us both!

what an awesome picture. abby has really challenged my prayer life as well...thank you abby.
Cuteness all over the place. Kids' prayers are so cute and SO sincere! Iona's dinner prayer is always: 'Thank you for Wyattandmorgan and Rowyn and me and Wyattandmorgan and daddy and mama and granpa and our cousins and family and wyattandmorgan and me and thank you for this food. Amen.'
Thanks for pointing me to this - I too am learning to pray more boldly. I hope Abby can pray for me too :-) Thanks Angela for the reminder of looking at our relationship with God through the eyes of a child!!
