PRAYER LESSONS FROM A 4-YEAR-OLD

By Melody Mason

As is usual with most 4-year-olds, little Caleb had gotten into trouble for disobeying and as a result had been punished.

The next day, out of the blue, he asked his father, "Daddy, am I going to disobey today?"

His father responded with a smile: "I don't know buddy. That is up to you. I hope you don't."

With childlike determination, Caleb spoke decidedly, "I don't want to disobey."

Not long after it was time for Caleb to take his nap, so his father asked him to put away his toys. Immediately Caleb responded in a whiny voice, "But I don't want to."

His father then reminded him of his statement earlier about not wanting to disobey. With out missing a beat, little Caleb asked, "Daddy, can we pray?"

"Of course we can pray," his father said.

So father and son knelt down right there, and without any prompting, Caleb asked Jesus for a new heart to help him obey. Then he got up and immediately, without complaining, put his toys away and went down for a nap.

Imagine how different our lives might turn out if, every time we face the temptation to compromise our faith or disobey, we pray, “Dear God, please give me a new heart and help me to obey You.” It is a simple, childlike prayer, but that’s all that is required. If we pray this with sincerity of heart just like Caleb, God will answer. He will give us strength to do what is right.

World Church Prayer Requests

Pray that God would give us hearts of simple trust and sweet humility, like a child.

Pray for the upcoming week of prayer that the General Conference holds each March for their staff.

Pray for all the church leaders (and others) who are working from home during this Covid pandemic, that they will be even more productive in their work and not burn out from so many online zoom meetings.

Pray for those you know who are still struggling with limited work and finances, during this pandemic. Pray for ways that you can help.

Pray for the upcoming World Youth Day, which occurs March 20, 2021. Pray that many young people will take part and lives will be changed for eternity.

Day 10 — Seeking Revival Together

“‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts” –
Zechariah 4:6

Pray about how your church or family or prayer group can experience a spiritual “restart” this year. Make a plan, seek input from others, and set a date to begin. You’ll want to adapt your ideas depending on your culture, your community, and the needs of your group.

The Holy Spirit will accomplish it.
“What you are planning will neither succeed by the might of an army nor by human strength; rather, my Spirit will accomplish it! I, the Lord God Almighty, promise this” (Zechariah 4:6, translated from the German Hoffnung fuer Alle version).

Dear Father, You tell us that success does not come from human effort. Please forgive us for our lack of Holy Spirit power. Revive us so we are not lukewarm like Laodicea. Awaken us for our own salvation and that of our neighbors. And thank You for the eternal joy You have promised.

Day 9 — Do I Work For God – Or Does He Work Through Me?

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” – Galatians 2:20

We are created in Christ for good works.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).

Lord, make us tools in Your hand for the salvation and blessing of our neighbors. We know the fulfillment of the gospel depends on this question: Am I working for God with my human abilities, or is God working through me with His divine abilities? Teach us that we cannot serve You on our own. Thank You for promising to work through us. Please bless the work of our hands.

Day 7 — Praying God's Promises

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7

God is waiting to give us the Holy Spirit.
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:13).
“But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:39).
"And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him" (Acts 5:32).

Father, we read that You will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask You, to those who believe in You, and to those who obey You. This is our desire. Please accomplish this in our lives, for we cannot do it ourselves. Thank You for pouring Your love into our hearts.

Day 6 — God's Solution to Our Struggle

“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.” – Luke 9:23, 24

Praying God's Word

*Remain in the best relationship there is.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me...If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" (John 15:4, 7).

Lord, thank You for growing our trust when we daily surrender to You. Lead us to know the Holy Spirit better. Let Your desires be our desires.

*Live in the best relationship every day.
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33, NIV).

Dear Lord, teach us to put You first in everything. Show us how to begin each day with You.

Day 5 — Spiritual or Carnal: What's the Difference?

“But we have the mind of Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 2:16

The Spiritual Church Member.
The spiritual person is a truly converted Christian. Although born a sinner, he is called “spiritual” because he has a living and growing relationship with the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul writes, “But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For ‘who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?’ But we have the mind [Spirit] of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:15, 16).

The Carnal Church Member.
A carnal person might have a feigned or divided relationship with God. He might be quietly indifferent to the Holy Spirit or even openly rebellious. Here’s what the apostle Paul has to say: “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? For when one says, ‘I am of Paul,’ and another, ‘I am of Apollos,’ are you not carnal?” (1 Corinthians 3:1-4).

We are still carnal, but there is hope.

Dear Lord, thank You for including “still” in this text, for it reminds us that we don’t have to remain in this situation. We want You to change us today. Thank You that envy, strife, and divisions are healed when we live in the Holy Spirit.

Father, we live in spiritual poverty because we do not ask, or we ask with selfish, human motives. Please transform our prayers and guide us by the Holy Spirit.
