A week or so ago Lydia was having a problem at bedtime, I can't remember what it was but I told her that she could kneel down and pray just like the two girls who encountered the rattlesnakes in the movie 17 Miracles. I had showed my kids the clip of the movie because one of the girls was the daughter of our direct ancestor. I used the clip to illustrate that the girl was only 9 years old when this happened and she prayed and God answered her prayer with a miracle. I told my girls that they could also pray anytime they had a problem and God would answer their prayers also.
So the other night Lydia was complaining a lot that her leg hurt. She frequently gets growing pains and so I told her to get in my bed and I would put the heating pack on her leg. After tucking her in I left the room. About 15 minutes later Lydia came out and told me that she needed to whisper something to me. She then told me, "Momma, I said a prayer that my leg wouldn't hurt and when I was done my leg didn't hurt anymore." I asked her if she knew why and she said she didn't. I explained that God answered her prayer because He loves her so very much. She was so happy.
