Child's prayer

Child's prayer has always been my favorite primary song. The message is so beautiful yet simple. "Pray he is there speak he is listening you are his child his love now surrounds you"

This weekend has given me two examples of the power of a prayer. And the first was given to me by my 2 year old daughter. After we said prayers and I was singing to her at night to get her to fall asleep she folded her arms and said "father bless mama, daddy, guh guh, papa, guh guh, papa, sissy (Lindsey), Patrick, Sophie, Bella, pebbles, alisa, Cody, Mae Mae, cj (maes friend), Sadie (maeleys other friend, michael(her boyfriend) and Abbie" then she said "my day" and told Heavenly Father in great detail everything she did that day including what she ate, where she went, what shows she watched, which toys she played with and who she saw. That was so touching that she realizes the importance of prayer and she spoke for her heart.

The other was about a prayer of mine being heard and answered. I have been trying to have a baby since September. I thought I would get pregnant immediately since we did with Emma. Here we are in January and yet another negative pregnancy test and a period trying to start. Brian has given me multiple blessings saying I will conceive and I will be blessed with a baby soon, yet it wasn't happening soon in my book. I was trying to have faith in The Lord and his timing today so I prayed expressing all my feelings and frustrations and that I wanted to have faith. Well tonight laying in bed with Emma I hear in almost audible words "mom I'm worth the wait". I believe that Heavenly Father let my baby speak to my spirit to keep my faith alive and to help me be patient. I am so grateful for that confirmation I received and that Heavenly Father loves me and does listen to my prayers. I am excite to meet my baby am know he/she will come soon enough.
