Short Prayers For Kids
At the close of His first day teaching among the Nephite faithful, the resurrected Jesus turned His attention to a special audience which often stands just below the level of our gaze, sometimes nearly out of sight. The sacred record says: “He commanded that their little children should be brought [forward]. “And when they had knelt upon the ground, he himself also knelt; and behold he prayed unto the Father, and the things which he prayed cannot be written, so great and marvelous [were the] things [He did] speak unto the Father. “ When Jesus had made an end of praying, he arose; and wept, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and [again] prayed unto the Father for them. “And when he had done this he wept again; [saying] unto the multitude, Behold your little ones.” We cannot know exactly what the Savior was feeling in such a poignant moment, but we do know that He was “troubled” and that He “groaned within himself” over the destructive influences always swirling around the innocent.
