My daughter came in my room one night sobbing because she was 'scared.' I had her come and cuddle with me, and we talked quietly about why she was scared and what we could do to make her not scared. I explained to her that God is always with us, and He loves her very much. I said that if she asked He would take away all her fears.

She paused. Then I heard her small voice whisper - "God, please take away all my scareds."

Another pause and then she looks at me and tells me, "Momma, I feel better."

I asked her why, knowing obviously, but not expecting this answer.

She said, "Jesus took away all my scareds and put them in a big deep hole, and locked the doors so they can't come bug me anymore."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

But I think of it everytime I get a little anxious - that Jesus took away all our 'scareds' and locked them in a big hole, and they can't come 'bug' us anymore, unless we let them.

The faith of a child, right? I learn more everyday from my daughter's example than she'll ever learn from me.

Awesome!!! My dd has said some pretty profound things for her age and she has certainly taught me a lot too! :)

That is so heart-warming! I'm sure God thinks so too! :D

aww thats so neat.

The other day we were about to play monopoly, and Timmy (3yo) put his hand on mine before I could set out the money and said "Lets pray first." And I said, "okay, you want to pray?" and he said "no you do" so he bowed his head and closed his eyes, and I prayed... I thought that was so cute wanting to pray before we played. :D
