ROOT OF PRAYER - WISDOM FROM A CHILD

"God loves me. And when I pray to God he likes it because he likes me talking to him." - Elliott

This is the root of prayer: God begins. He loves us...first. God actually delights in, smiles upon, enjoys, and desires our attentive expression.  However you want to echo or summarize Jesus' and the Prophets' teaching to express it, a little boy named Elliott found a simple, clear, and....cute..... way to communicate it.

Check out this short film featuring testimony from Elliott, which includes a version of the ancient Celtic Encircling Prayer. As Psalm 8:2 tells us, we can stand to hear wisdom from a child.

Thanks Jessie E. for passing this along!
