If you ever need someone to pray for you I want to tell you who the best person would be. It's not the Sunday school teacher, not the Sr. Adult women's Sunday school class not even the pastor.

There is a group of people in the church that knows how to pray the correct way. The children!

John 6:1-14 we have the perfect illustration on how the minds of kids operate. You talk about faith, this one boy shows us just how our children think in the feeding of the 5000. He saw with his own eyes how many people were there that day. He saw the disciples sweating in desperation trying to figure out what they were going to do. Just like a child, this young boy took his five loaves and two fishes and gave it to the One who could do something with it.

If we could just go back to the early days of our lives and have the open mind that our kids have. They simply believe what you tell them so when God says "he loves them" they believe Him. When their Heavenly Father says, "I will take care of you" they take Him at His word. Shouldn't we do the same?

Prayer: "Lord, help us to get our thinking back to the ways of a child in believing that You will do what you say you will do."
