My granddaughter didn\u2019t say anything, she just smiled and kind of looked questioningly at me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I took her hand in mine, her mom put her arm around her and her other grandmother put her hand on her knee. I began to pray for her\u2014for any anxiety regarding school to be relieved, and a few other general things, and then I began to pray that she would know she would never be alone, Jesus would always be with her, He loved and delighted in her, and she was a treasure of great value to Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MY RESPONSE<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Three important women in her life made a wise decision last Sunday. We could have blown her off because she didn\u2019t really know what she wanted prayer about, or perhaps felt she should raise her hand because the little girl in front of her about the same age had raised her hand. But we didn\u2019t. Instead we chose to pray over this precious little girl, to impart truth and love and light into her heart, mind, spirit, and soul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MY PRAYER<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cLord, thank You that You call all of us to come to You as little children, with wide eyes and open hearts.
