You know, adults can learn many lessons from children...As we strive to teach them, we should pay attention, there is alot you can learn too!
I was having a conversation, about prayer, with my grandson, Elijah. It went like this:
Elijah is continuing his swimming lessons, and though he is doing very well, we want him to get stronger and be more confident in the water. One thing he always says as we go to swimming lessons each week is, "I don't want to go into the deep big pool." He wants to stay in the shallow water where his feet can touch bottom.
He and I were sitting on the couch the other day, and he said, "Nana, I am going to ask Jesus for me not to have to go to swimming lessons this Wednesday." I looked at him for a minute, then I said, "Well, why don't we ask Jesus to help you to not be afraid when you go to swimming lessons?" He said ok, then we said his prayer together. He then asked me if Jesus really heard him and if He would really help him to not be afraid, and I told him, "most definitely!" I told him that he needed to believe that Jesus would help him and that if he started to become afraid again, to quickly ask Jesus to be with him.
A few hours later, he said to me, "Nana, when we go to swim lessons, could you put me in the big, deep pool(instead of the teacher, Miss Kim), and then reach in there to help me if I can't swim out?" I told him of course I would, but that Miss Kim would be in the water with him and his Mom would also be right there, and that he would do fine. Only a little while ago he did not even want to go to swimming lessons, and now he was talking about going into the deep pool. I said, "Praise the Lord! Do you see how quickly Jesus comforts you when you ask Him to?"

I believe this is a prayer Jesus will always answer immediately, the prayer to ask Him to be with you in your life. A couple of my favorite Psalms that I pray often are:

Psalm 25: 17
"Relieve the troubles of my heart and bring me out of my distress."

Psalm 6: 10
"The Lord has heard my plea, the Lord has accepted my prayer."

I say these prayers and I feel Jesus comforting me in that moment. What a blessing God has given us through the power of prayer and comfort.
