A Child's Prayer

A couple of experiences:
Suzy put Faith in time out. Usually Faith's prayers are very short and contain the same two phrases (bless the family, help us to sleep well, amen). However, Suzy heard Faith give one of the most sincere and heartfelt prayers ever. "Heavenly Father, please help me get out of time out". Her prayer was answered...eventually.

Suzy was feeding Jace and Kate wanted to watch a movie. The remote wasn't working and Suzy told Kate that maybe she could watch one after she was done feeding Jace. Kate closed her eyes for a while, looking very intent.

Just after that, Suzy had the idea to move the batteries around a bit. Low and behold, it worked! Later, in the car, we were talking about this experience and Kate shared with us that she was praying when she had closed her eyes that it would work, and then it did.
