“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)
Loving Father God,
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 only my heart to bring to You
and that I can do no good thing apart from You.
Teach me how to come to
You with childlike dependence—knowing I am helpless and hopeless without You,
but still that I can still find my 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 confidently for Your best for me and believing
You will give me every good thing You have for me.
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 and rejoicing 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—a love that is 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.
