In asking my 6th graders why they pray, I was floored by their answers. In going around the room and reading one line they had each written about what the Lord helps them with, I couldn't help but smile.
Talk about the faith of a child.
It makes me wonder what happens to most of us as we grow older - Where does that faith go? What does our faith become? Why does doubt creep in?
Faith is much more than just emotions and feelings - it's rooted in truth.
So, for many of us (myself included) the question becomes, how do we get that child-like faith back?
great minds... just blogged about kids' perspectives too! (http://justmechi2.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-different-perspective.html)
