Thank you God that you are our Shield and our Reward and that Your are very great. That your for this day and please help me and Bryn and Lily and Mommy and Daddy to trust in you with all our heart. Please help grandaddy to not be sick anymore……………. In Jesus name Amen. (No quotation marks becuase I can't quote her exact wording). There was more that was profoundly godly and yet disconcerting to a mothers' heart but I can't remember it. This was the first time I've ever heard her pray this way, with such strength and clarity. No following after Mommy's prayer's here. I so trust my Lord for what He has designed for my children but I quake and cry at the possibilities. "Thy will be done."

Oh, how I wish I could remember her exact words verbatim but I had to attend to the "goodnights", etc. after she prayed, which were after she took over reading, explaining, and asking the questions in the Cassie and Caleb book (Discovering Jesus through Genesis) through which we are reading for bedtime devotions. If I could only cry, my tears would be pouring over the words of her sweet prayer that was so Scriptural, from the heart and innocent. Such a short little prayer. So to the point and accurate. No wonder Christ wants us to come to Him as little children!! Oh, the sweet trust and availability she demonstrated! I really tremble at the thought of what ministry God has in store for such a heart as hers! Yes, I trust and love Him, but I see in her what I see when I read the biographies of those who are great in God's Kingdom, ergo those who have suffered much for Christs' sake. Oh, Hasten your coming Lord Jesus!!
