What sweet faces in this photo! I would love to have heard the song! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful story! I love hearing about Burma — my grandfather’s brother was a missionary there 1908-1944. I have all their photos and book manuscripts, and many of the trinkets they brought home. When they had to flee during the war, as the leader of all Baptist missions over Burma, they stayed in India over a year to make sure every other missionary got out of all areas of Asia safely, and when their ship left the dock, it exploded behind them.

So often I neglect to pray. When I do, it’s usually after something that God has placed in my life because I’ve been drifting away and haven’t been by to visit with him in a while.

I’ve been taught that prayer is one of the greatest priveleges we as Christians have, since we no longer need a priest to pray for us and offer sacrifices, we have direct access to God.

But not only is prayer a privilege, this Burmese orphan helped me realize that prayer can be a delight. It’s simply talking to our Father.

LORD, teach me to pray like these children. Help me to see past my “things” to focus on the One thing that really matters!
