My daughter brought home a notebook from church on Sunday. She called it her “prayer journal.” Over the past few days, she’s drawn pictures and (with her mama’s help) added captions for her prayers.
They include:
- Gratitude for the Bible and Jesus dying on the cross
- Prayers for world peace
- Requests that God bless my wife and me
- Personal petitions for bravery, friends, and strength
The pictures and captions blew me away.
Earlier in the afternoon, I was seriously upset with her about her attitude. This was a relief and a convicting call for me to be the kind of father who continually points my daughter to God.
