Read

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

(Mark 10:14)

Pray

Dear God,

You have said in this verse, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” I come before You now, acknowledging that I am like a child in need of Your love, guidance, and protection. I pray that You would help me to have the faith and innocence of a child as I navigate through life. Please help me to trust in Your wisdom and lean on Your strength in all circumstances.

I ask for Your grace to live a life that reflects Your kingdom values and to be a blessing to others. May I always remember to have a heart that is open and pure, seeking after Your will and casting all my cares upon You. Thank You for the assurance that I am welcomed into Your presence, just as a child is welcomed into the arms of a loving parent. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
