The Prayers of Children

Hi AllWhilst working in more than one school lately I have come across a 'Prayer tree'. On it are posted notes or prayers from the children. I think they are remarkable little snapshots which I thought I might share here. I have typed them exactly as they were written

"please take after my dad because he got hit by a icicl".

"Pray for my dog".

"god, please can you tick care of my dab because he has not seen me lately!!!"

"I would like to pray for my mam because my dad had a fight and dad left the house".

Some sad ones there Winston. My kids don't tend to tell me what they pray about. I think they may be worried in case it doesn't come true by talking about it. It isn't something I'd ask them about either.

I did wonder what my daughter was murmuring every night as I went to turn the light off. Eventutally worked it out - something she learnt at school.

'Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Bless this bed that I lay on'

I love the innocence of a child's prayer.
