Children's Prayers

The best part of consistent family devotional is in seeing the spiritual growth in your family! It is comforting to recognize that everyone is gaining in knowledge of spiritual, eternal things, & that those things are becoming a part of their character and their decision making process. Starting the day with God sets the best tone for the day possible.

The sweetest part of the devotional, at least for me, is to hear the innocent and heartfelt prayers of the small children. We recently had two of our grandchildren move in with us because of illness in their mother, a single mom. They will have to be here a while. They are 6 & 7. When they arrived at our home and were learning to pray, they always said the same words and little concern for anyone but themselves. But after a time, their prayers have shifted to touching requests that God help or heal or protect someone they know that needs such blessings.

I look forward to those moments each day! And I pray for the boys to continue to develop a love and trust in God.
