The ABC Prayer

 

 

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with man. Now the story goes, a little shepherd boy was watching his sheep one Sunday morning and he heard the bells of the church ringing. And watching the people walk along the pasture where he was, he happened to think to himself, " I would like to communicate with God! But, what can I say to God? "

He had never learned a prayer. So, on bended knee, he began to recite the alphabet .... A,B,C,D......Z ! Repeating this prayer several times, a man passing by, heard the boy's voice and peaked through the bushes. He saw the young boy kneeling with folded hands, eyes closed, repeating the alphabet over and over again. He interrupted the boy. " What are you doing, my little one? " he asked.

 

 

 

The boy replied, " I was praying sir. " The man seemed surprised and said, " But you are just reciting the alphabet? "

 

 

 

The boy explained, " I don't know any prayers, sir. But I want God to take care of me, and to help me care for my sheep. And so I thought, if I said all I knew, He could put the letters together into words, and He would know all that I want and should say! " The man smiled and said, " Bless your heart, God will! " And he went on to church knowing full well that he had heard the finest sermon he could possibly hear that day. Maybe if we too thought like little children and with a pure heart, let Baba put together the letters as He sees fit, how happy we would make Him!Remain Blessed!Duty is God, Work is Worship
