Kids today are like no other. Our children may not say funny things as
much as they give amazing insight.
It was in a Bible School
class, I was trying to get across the idea, the power of praying in the face of
danger (Daniel in the lions den). From
their comments, it seemed the boys were determined not to buy into the
concept. Finally, a 10 year old shared
for all to hear, “my grandmother prays
for me.”
Not giving up, I asked them
to focus on times they were in trouble.
After a brief moment of quiet, an 11-year-old girl told how a kid met
her in the school restroom to beat her up.
I suggested, “and you prayed for God to look out for you?”
Hesitating, thoughtfully she said, “no, I
didn’t pray; my girlfriend back in our classroom was praying for me.”
Learnings: we must keep praying for others. They are counting on it more than we imagine.
