“I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”—Mark 10:15 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Teach me how to come to You like a child, that I might enter into all that You have for me—both in the here-and-now, and for eternity to come.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike humility—knowing that I have nothing but my heart to bring
to You, and yet have everything to gain from You.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike dependence—knowing I am helpless and hopeless without You,
but still can find help and hope in You.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike inquisitiveness—that I might gain knowledge and grow in
wisdom, and leave behind my foolish ways.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike faith—asking You for what You have promised and confident
that I will receive everything I need by Your hand.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike obedience—willingly going and doing that which You require
of me, knowing You always have my best interests at heart.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike gratefulness—giving thanks in all situations for all of Your
goodness, knowing You work all things together for my good.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike love—purely motivated and freely offered, just because of
who You are.
Teach me how to come to You like a child—that I might enter into all that You have for me, both in the here-and-now, and for eternity to come.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
