Praying for Piglet

The three-year-old was wailing from her bed this evening. I went up to inquire about the circumstances since she had just been down to visit me where I had prayed with her about her fear of "scawee bad dweams". I went up to give her a talking to, truth be told. But when I got there, she held up her stuffed cuddle, Piglet. "I prayed for you, remember? You will be fine. You need to go to sleep now." To which she sadly replied, "Yeah, mommy, but Pigwet's still scaaad. You need to pray for him too." Or maybe, sort of like Piglet says of Pooh, my little baby just wanted to be sure of me.

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh," he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."


Do you think God's answers prayers for stuffed Piglets? Let's hope so. For the sake of three-year-olds.

Yep, I'm fairly sure God answers those prayers...especially if they help little 3-year-olds fall asleep better!

Oh yes, stuffed Piglet prayers are His specialty!

Oh, no doubt about it. I'm sure that's covered in the "everything by prayer" scripture. :)
