Real conversation in our home this week:
Kid: Mom, I think we should pray about God giving us a [toy].
Mom: That’s a great idea.
Kid: Now we just have to figure out where to put it.
Isn’t that great faith?
It took all of my will power not to start a theological conversation about how sometimes God answers “no” or “not yet.” Because I think sometimes I let my theology get in the way of faith. Do I really pray believing God will hear my requests and answer?
Matthew 18:3 gives Jesus’ encouragement that “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
I don’t know how God will answer, but I am going to pray with my child and wait expectantly to see what God does.
All is well,
Lisa
