Praying for Little Things

Some people think it foolish to ask God for little things, but I do not think it matters at all what one asks for, so long as in asking for anything one recognizes one's own dependence on God…. Sometimes a tiny childish thing brings home to us more than a big thing the intense love which can make Omnipotence concerned, for our sakes, with trifles.

    I saw this and was encouraged to pray again about a little thing (a cat who’d been missing for hours). Then I got up and found the cat — locked in the garage. Answered prayer. Yes, the cat would’ve been found eventually “anyway.” But I’m thankful to know, now, that I’m not going to have to tell my wife that her favorite pet has been missing all day.
