The Effect of a Child's Prayer
Christian Endeavour Times
Isaiah 11:6-9
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid…


In a Southern hospital a little girl was to undergo a dangerous operation. She was placed upon the table, and the surgeon was about to give her ether when he said, "Before we can make you well, we must put you to sleep." She spoke up sweetly and said, "Oh, if you are going to put me to sleep, I must say my prayers first." So she got on her knees, and said the child's prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep." Afterward the surgeon said that he prayed that night for the first time in thirty years.
