Kid's Funny Prayers
One Sunday in a Midwest city a young
child was "acting up" during
the morning worship hour.
The parents did their best to maintain
some sense of order in the
pew but were losing the battle. Finally
the father picked the
little fellow up and walked sternly up the
aisle on his way out.
Just before reaching the safety of the
foyer the little one
called loudly to the congregation,
"Pray for me! Pray for
me!"
A daddy was listening to his child say
his prayer "Dear Harold".
At this, dad interrupted and
said, "Wait a minute, How come you
called God, "Harold"?
The little boy looked up and said, "That's
what they call
Him in chruch, You know the prayer we say,
"Our Father, who
art in Heaven, Harold be Thy name."
During the minister's prayer one
Sunday, there was a loud whistle
from one of the back pews.
Gary's mother was horrified. She pinched
him into silence, and
after church, asked: "Gary, whatever made
you do such a
thing?" Gary answered soberly: "I asked God to teach
me
to whistle... And He just then did!"
One night Mike's parents overheard this
prayer. "Now I lay me
down to rest, and hope to pass
tomorrow's test, if I should die
before I wake, that's one less
test I have to take."
A little boy's prayer. "Dear God,
please take care of my daddy,
mommy, sister, brother, my doggy
and me. Oh, please take care of
yourself, God. If anything
happens to you, we're gonna be in a big mess."
A rabbi said to a precocious
six-year-old boy: "So your mother says
your prayers for you
each night? Very commendable. What does
she say?" The little
boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"
A woman invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to her
six-year-old daughter and said,
"Would you like to say the blessing?"
I wouldn't know
what to say," the little girl replied. "Just say what
you
hear Mommy say, "the mother said. The little girl bowed her head
and said "Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these
people to dinner?"
Johny had been misbehaving and was sent
to his room. After a while
he emerged and informed his mother that
he had thought it over and
then said a prayer. "Fine, said
the pleased mother. "If you ask
God to help you not
misbehave, He will help you." "Oh, I didn't ask
Him to
help me not misbehave," said Johnny.
"I asked Him to
help you put up with me."
A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if You can't make me a
better boy, don't worry about
it. I'm having a real good time like I am!"
