A Simple Prayer!

One of our nightly rituals at our house is to pray at bedtime with our children. Just the other night as I was putting my two youngest sons to bed, my 4 year old Camden, asked if he could pray his special prayer. I said absolutely.

What I was expecting was either the Lord's prayer, which is one of his favorites, or something on the lines of "Now I lay me down to sleep....". Anyway you get the idea!

Well what I received was a lesson from God through my 4 year old. This is what he prayed:

We do as You say,
We love You with all our hearts,
We will walk in your footsteps,
We will do Anything as You say,
Amen!

Oh if only I could pray like my son!

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 18:3,4
