Little Prayers... they are precious in His sight

Tonight I was saying prayers with David before going to sleep. I have been trying to say "Our Father" with him, but he gets so frustrated about not knowing the words. It made me begin to think... I do want him to hear it and learn it one day, but right now our focus needs to be just talking to God. I said my prayer with him, and then he began his:

He said, "Thank you for helping me not scribble. I have been good and bad sometimes, too. I really love you, but sometimes I just don't know the words. Help me to know the words. I really like you. Amen"

How precious and innocent! What a gift to teach and lead him to pray. How sweet to hear my child talking to God!!
