Jesus Loves Me Prayer

To understand this story, you must first understand that I only started to go to church less than a year ago. I chose to go to church so that I could have a place that loved and supported my son, in a way I had seen the church community overwhelmingly embrace another young man and his family with autism. During this past year, I have attended church regularly with my children. I never truly know what it is that Christian knows about or understands about God except through gleaming moments like the one I speak of now.


It was the Advent of Hope Sunday and I was listening to our minister talk about how amazing things had happened on this Sunday for people and I decided to go and get my son, Christian, from the nursery and pray with him with the altar call opened. I went and picked up and was greeted so joyfully. We walked to the altar, where I was greeted by a minister that also has a special needs child. I asked him to pray over Christian for his healing and we knelt down to pray. I said to Christian "Let's pray" and he said " I pray Mommy". I was ready with my prayer to ask for his healing and for continued growth, when I heard Christian singing "Jesus loves me this I know.. for the bible tells me so. Little to ones to him belong. They are weak but he is strong. Yes... Jesus Loves me". My prayer... was singing along with my son on our kneels at the altar.

I believe in what Christian's heart was singing and saying inside. He gave a voice to his prayer and I was thankful for God's blessings to give voice to his heart.
As tears streamed down my face, I knew beyond a doubt that God is moving in our lives.
