Lyla's prayer this morning: "dear God, i want to pray for a baby sister. I also want to pray for michael. I love him so much and he doesn't feel good, so just bless the Lord to him. And my auntie trisha doesn't know Jesus very well, so i just want to pray for her. We love you so much, God. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen"

Lyla's prayer in the car this morning: "Dear God, I just want to pray that you keep us safe at Disneyland today. I want to pray for Michael Dorobiala to have a good job and good home after bible...I want to pray for a baby sister. I want her to be born a girl and naked. So, in Jesus' name, Amen."
Some friends and I were talking this morning about how pure and sweet are the prayers of children. They aren't hindered by what society thinks about what we should pray for or how we should pray. A child's prayers are sincere, honest, and from the heart. I love hearing Lyla's prayers and I love to share them to bless others. In chapter 18 of the book of Matthew, Jesus is asked who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. He calls out a little child and has him stand among them. Jesus answers, "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. Lyla reminds me daily to humble myself and to become more child-like in my love for Jesus!
I wonder if God will answer Lyla's prayers for a baby sister???
