Jesus called a little child to him and stood the child before his followers. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you must become like little children. Otherwise, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 18:2-3
Jesus tells us that we must become like little children. Have you ever seen little children interact with each other? Guess what? Little children will play together because they are with other children. No prejudice. No anger. No hate. No drama. Just playing together. Children are also so curious about almost everything! They are hungry to learn and know.
Have you ever heard a child talk to their Parent? They talk about everything and hold nothing back.
When do we decide that we need to be childish? We are prejudiced. We are angry. We decide to hate. And SO much drama! And we stop learning, stop being curious simply for the sake of learning. Jesus reminds us that we need to stop being childish and become like a child. A child is carefree, full of joy, playful, trusting, curious. A child trusts more. A child talks with their parents freely.
When we pray, we should be trusting and open as a child. You see, the REAL power of prayer depends on the One who hears our open and honest prayer! No formulas, no repetition, just open and honest talking with your Father.
