Praying In Giggles

Last night, during prayer time before bed, Isaac (3 yrs old) was bouncing around, laughing, and talking goofy gibberish.  Knowing our Lord's love of children and their ways, I smiled and asked my silly son if he was praying in the Spirit.  He replied enthusiastically, "No, I am praying in giggles!"

I'm sure Jesus speaks that language, too!  In fact, sometimes laughter is the most effective prayer there is!  It is, after all, agreeing with His heart!  Some days it's easier than others to see why Jesus asked us to become like little children!

Bliss to you!

[more than a slave released, I have been raised from the dead!!]

1 Peter 1:7-9
the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; ⁸ and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, ⁹ obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
