Your example of how God may view us as children and your proposed spiritual exercise reminds me of Jesus’s warning to his disciples. The following is from Mark, but each of the synoptic gospels refer to this message in a similar form.

“Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”

That’s pretty clear that God wants us to be in wonderment, faithful like a child who may question a nap, but ultimately succumbs.

My 10 year old son said to me today, “Dad, I feel sorry for people who don’t believe in Jesus.” Sometimes the words and actions of a child offer such a positive example of faith.

What a great reason to include those lacking faith in our prayers each day. Also to not forget Believers who stumble due to human nature.

You remind me so much of myself. I, too, have my Bachelors in nursing. I raised four children, most of the time as a stay-at-home mom. My husband and I are now almost retired. I also attended a Renew in 1991 which changed my life! God loves us so much and we are His children. Thank you for writing!

In this manner, we are exorcising ourselves the Beelzeebul in our modern day that always hack into our lives.
