Prayer Warrior
Every night during camp, Uncle Steve and Aunt Donna bless our campers by reading stories to them before bedtime. As Uncle Steve began to finish up with one group of boys and leave for another room, six-year-old Carter spoke up. “Uncle Steve, could you please come here?” “Well, of course!” Uncle Steve answered as he leaned over to hear the small boy’s request.
Uncle Steve was anticipating a need such as, “Can I go to the bathroom?” or “Will you read us one more story?” Imagine how surprised he was by Carter’s question: “Can I pray for you?”
Uncle Steve enthusiastically agreed. Carter proceeded to pour out one of the most eloquent prayers Uncle Steve had ever heard. Truly “of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
