Childern's Prayers
One Sunday in a Midwest city a young child was "acting
up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their
best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing
the battle. Finally the father picked the little
fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just
before reaching the safety of the foyer the little one
called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"

A daddy was listening to his child say his prayer "Dear
Harold". At this, dad interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, "How
come you called God, "Harold"? The little boy looked up and said,
"That's what they call Him in church. You know the prayer we say,
"Our Father, who art in Heaven, Harold be Thy name."

And this particular four-year-old prayed: "And forgive us our trash
baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a
loud whistle from one of the back pews. Gary's mother was horrified.
She pinched him into silence, and after church, asked: "Gary, whatever
made you do such a thing?" Gary answered soberly: "I asked God to teach
me to whistle... And He just then did!"

One night Mike's parents overheard this prayer. "Now I lay me down
to rest, and hope to pass tomorrow's test, if I should die before
I wake, that's one less test I have to take."

A five-year-old said grace at family dinner one night.
"Dear God, thank you for these pancakes." When he concluded,
his parents asked him why he thanked God for pancakes when they were
having chicken. He smiled and said, "I thought I'd see if He was paying
attention tonight."

A little boy's prayer. "Dear God, please take care of my daddy and
my mommy and my sister and my brother and my doggy and me. Oh,
please take care of yourself, God. If anything happens to you, we're
gonna be in a big mess."

A rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy: "So your mother says
your prayers for you each night? Very commendable. What does
she say?" The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"

A woman invited some people to dinner. At the table,
she turned to her six- year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to
say the blessing?" I wouldn't know what to say," the little girl
replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother said. The little girl
bowed
her head and said, "Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these
people to dinner?"

Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he
emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then
said
a prayer. "Fine," said the pleased mother. "If you ask God to help you

misbehave," said Johnny. "I asked Him to help you put up with me."

A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if You can't

like I am.
