Prayer of Wisdom
Posted by kathy on August 5th, 2008. Filed under: Blessings, Faith, Family, Life.Yesterday Jerrad and I visited his grandmother at the nursing home. She’s been there for a couple of years not but enjoys begin there. We don’t get the opportunity to visit her often but when we do, there are a few standards. First, Jerrad must play the guitar for her. She keeps on old guitar by her bed for her guests to play. She’s the one who taught him how to play. Second, I must sing while Jerrad plays. Third, she has to brag to everyone about her “grandson who makes music.” Last night she pulled one on us. Before we left she grabbed Jerrad’s hand and started to pray. I can’t remember exactly what she said but it went something like this…
Dear Lord, thank you for Jerrad and his girlfriend. Thank you for our family and thank your for the fellowship we had today. And Lord I love you. And Lord I love them. And Lord please help them to love You like I do. Amen.
Needless to say, we were brought to tears. What a beautifully simple prayer! Sometimes I think we all need to pray a little more like that. “Lord help me to love You better.” Doesn’t that sum up our Christian life! Let’s just love Him better.
About 2 weeks ago, I wrote about how I want the Lord to be as real to me as He is to my Papa. I want to combine the prayers or Papa and Jerrad’s grandma.
Dear Lord, please help me to see you and feel you as real as my Papa does and Lord, please help me to Love you better.
