Last Week I took the kids to Zoo Doo in
Mikey’s horse won. He didn’t seem surprised. I said, “Mikey, you have number 2! Your horse won. You get a prize!”
His relaxed response amazed me, “I talked to God and told him to let number 2 win.”
That night as I tucked Mikey into bed I told him how proud I was that he prays about things. I said, “Mikey I thought that was wonderful that you prayed that your horse would win.”
Again his reply was unexpected, “But that’s cheating!”
I had a good laugh about that. Is prayer cheating? I suppose it is, if you have the faith of a child!
What are you getting for Christmas? I bet Mikey already knows what he’s getting!
What better gift could there be than prayer?
Jesus replied, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (
God gave the greatest gift by offering his Son in our place. But, he hasn’t stopped giving. He promises that he will continue to give as long as we continue to ask!
“If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (
In this Christmas season don’t set your sights too low. Lift your eyes and pray. God is listening!
