devotions and reflections

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take .

This was my prayer when I was a little kid. My mother would dictate the words to me but I always missed the last two lines. Now that I am an adult I still treasure this cute little prayer.

When I started going to school my grandfather told me that a child’s prayer is very effective. I too his word seriously and kept it in my heart believing every prayer I make was going to be answered by God.

Because of this thought I didn’t want to grow up. I was thinking that my prayers would be less efective as I grow older and I felt sad to growing up was inevitable.

Well, of course God still answers our prayers regardless of our age.
