Time for a talk with Jesus

One night, my son, Kim Jr. confessed to me a childish wrong. Kneeling, he prayed, “Dear Jesus, make me a man, like daddy — ‘the Major’ — wise and strong.  I know you can!” As he slept, I knelt beside his bed, confessed my sins and with a bowed head prayed, “O God, make me a child like my little Kim here … pure, genuine, trusting God with faith sincere.” This is a thoughtful reminder for us to take the same stand and pray with childlike faith. His prayer was sweet, short and straight to the point, and transformed his bedroom with the mighty power of God’s spirit. “After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.”  Acts 4:31 — New Living Translation.
