Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Some people could easily be talking to their plates, their prayers have so little forethought and
passion. Such is not the case for those who have been touched by God's love in Jesus Christ. May
our prayers be full of thought and passion, as we draw close to God's holiness.
(Philippians 4:6
NRSV)
A pastor was visiting in the home of one of his parishioners. A small boy in the home started
reaching for the potatoes before the blessing was said. His mother gently scolded him. The boy
was confused. Why were they at the table, except to eat? As the adults bowed their heads to say
grace, the child suddenly caught on. As his father started to pray, the boy, shouted, "Hey, Dad!
Could I be the one that talks to the plate this time?"
Dear God, continue to teach me the importance of prayer. Amen.
