There is nothing sweeter than listening to your 6 year old say his prayer. Children are so open and honest with their prayers. Along with the regular things we are all thankful for: home, family etc. he has no problem adding to the thankful list his angry birds or other toys. And along with "the usual" blessings he asks for things like "bless that I can go to my friends house" or "bless that I can get the "Angry Birds Toons" video." (Yes, he loves angry birds)
I often find myself censoring my prayers, thinking "I shouldn't ask for that" or "I won't have that prayer answered if I pray for that." But the scriptures tell us:
Matt 21:22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
I'd like to pray more like my son. Open and honest and faithful.
