Food decisions can be difficult in my home. Especially traditional breakfast foods.
A couple weeks ago, while I pushed my daughter in the cart, through the aisles of Target, she saw a box of mini pancakes.
My rule is: if you promise you’ll eat it, I’m ok buying it.
Because of her vantage point, she saw what I couldn’t (another lesson for another day). Once I confirmed she wanted it and would eat it, we grabbed the last box.
She kept her word and finished them. So, as it had become something she would eat, when she asked for them again, we were in Walmart, and we searched high and low – to no avail. We had not seen them in Target either.
One morning during our normal prayer, she did something she rarely does: she added a few words asking God for mini pancakes.
I smiled.
She knows she can ask God for the little things as well as the big things.
Fast forward to our very next trip to Target. There was a whole section of mini pancakes. I offered to grab two, but she knows herself and knows she easily tires of the same food and just asked for one.
It wasn’t until later that I realized it. Here was a child who went to God with child like faith and He saw fit to answer.
I love when He does that!
Friends, what are you asking of our Heavenly Father? I pray we go with the same child like faith, believing that He hears us and will answer.
Please stand in the gap with me as we petitions God’s throne for healing for my friends.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that you continue to use my daughter to show me what child like faith looks like. Help me to believe that when I ask anything of you, according to your will, that you will grant it in your perfect time.
