Abby's Prayers

Are so sincere and faith driven about her real life 7 year old concerns: being nice to everyone, not having a nightmare, or that our house will get stuck by lightning and start on fire, that we will know what is right and do it, that her dad will continue to get better, walk and stand on his own, and one day be able to swing her through the sprinklers again. I love them and love the little angel saying the prayer more. They make me smile to think of how my prayers must sound to my Heavenly Father and how much that He loves to hear and smile at all of our prayers. I know that He loves us and that He is our Heavenly Father, a real Person.
C.S. Lewis writes on prayer in 'The Screwtape Letters,' which again is one Devil helping to train another, "But whatever the nature of the composite object, you must keep him(the human that they are tempting) praying to it. -to the thing he has made, not to the Person who has made him.""
