The faith of a child.....

Today at work I needed people to return my calls. It wasn't happening. So I called home for my 21 year old daughter to pray. Whenever I have a prayer request, I always call my Emily. The calls started coming in a few minutes later. It's not magic, but whenever I ask her to pray, things do start happening. Not necessarily the way I want, but the answer always comes. By the title I'm not saying that Em is a child, but she is young and her prayers do receive answers. Why? I believe it's her child-like faith. Her faith is child-like because she isn't spoiled by years of disappointment in life. Her faith is child-like because it's sincere and genuine. She's seen God work more than she hasn't. I believe that she always will. She takes God at His word. She takes His Word as it is, truth. She's amazinly wonderful and we'd all do very well to learn from her. God doesn't disappoint those who trust Him---not those who believe in Him as Santa Claus, but those who believe in Him, His goodness and sovereignty and perfect parent love for us. The more I do, the more I see Him at work too. The more I do, the more I thank God for Emily's example of child-like faith in God and the power of prayer.
