The Orphan's Prayer
Mark 11:22
And Jesus answering said to them, Have faith in God.


A little child, whose father and mother had died, was taken into another family. The first night she asked if she might pray, as she used to do. They said, "Oh, yes." So she knelt down, and prayed as her mother had taught her; and when that was ended, she added a little prayer of her own: "O God, make these people as kind to me as father and mother were." Then she paused, and looked up, as if expecting an answer, and then added, "Of course you will." How sweetly simple was that little one's faith; she expected God to "do"; and, of course, she got her request.
