Waiting next to the nook with the children

Waiting in to go into the prayer nook - each child sitting with a prayer journal or taking one of the Bibles as they wait for their turn to pray privately. May the Lord bless these precious young ones as they pray. We are in the Garden Room (as it is known at North Heights) as we pray. We are in the Garden with our Gracious Lord and Savior Jesus. We are waiting with Him. We are waiting for Him as He listens to our prayers. Take the scrolls Lord - they look like the art and prayers all over the boards and maps. Open them in the heavenlies and be blessed by our praise.

One little boy leaving whispered to me - All my prayers were for Haiti
One little boy leaving whispered to me - I have an ear infection I've prayed for healing
One little boy kneeling on the map of the world circled Indiana over and over again with his marker and then smiled and said "my grandparents had the tornado a few weeks ago but they are fine". We gave God grateful praise.
One little girl drew flowers as her gift to God.

The Section Leader is monitoring the minutes, as the line for the prayer nook grows.

One teacher said - she thought she might restrict the 'painting/art' but after the visit as the room was being set up - "it was all the children could talk about'. Allowing God to have His way is so FUN. And doing ART as you pray is amazing.

We are FLINGING WIDE - we were made for prayer and for LOVING YOU LORD.

Amen
