FAITH n ear Jesus, don’t let little Mark get the measles or chicken ‘pops,’ ” the four-year-old prayed in family wor ship that morning. “ But if he does, we’ll ‘be care’ of him. Jesus’ sake, amen.” The prayer was short and sweet and definitely to the point. Mother heard a small titter around the room from the older children as Althea exploded, “Mark’s already had the chicken pox, Ardyth!” “ Let’s get our heads bowed, chil dren, and back to prayer. We’re wait ing for you to go ahead, Althea.” When prayer time was finished Mother asked what was wrong with Ardyth’s prayer. “Mark already had the chicken pox,” Kent offered with the air of a sage. “She- didn’t know he’d not get them again,” Dorotheann defended her small sister. “ I can’t see how her prayer was wrong.” “Of course she is a little young to know that he’ll likely not have a re currence of the pox,” Mother agreed. “There is one thing I want you to see, however. She asked God not to let Mark get measles or chicken pox, and then she added one word which changed the entire picture. What was it?” “ I know,” Sharon almost shouted. “She said ‘but if he gets it we’ll take care of him.’ ” “That ‘but’ showed lack of faith, didn’t it?” Dorotheann was compre hending the lesson. “That’s it, honey. We couldn’t ex pect one so small as Ardyth to under stand all that having faith means. But you older children want to learn right now to ‘ask in faith, nothing wavering.’ We must ask in simple faith and never add any ‘buts’ to our requests. Open your Bibles to James 4, verses two and three. Let’s read to gether the last of verse two and all of three: *. . . ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask and receive not, be cause ye ask amiss. . . .’ Lord, help us to believe when we ask.”
