Dear God...

Dear God-
Thank you for healing Nathan. I pray that his cancer doesn't come back. I pray that you put a force field around our house so that Satan doesn't break in. I pray that our house doesn't catch on fire. And Lord, I know the baby's dead, but if You could just give us another one, that would be very helpful. And if You do, I pray you don't let it die and that it's a boy. I pray for the people in the mountains and in the forest and in the icy places and at the ocean and I pray that you help Carson's allergies to get better.
Dear Lord I pray-
Amen

This is what my Holt has prayed every night, almost verbatim, for a really long time. I have it memorized along with him, but the little booger really does sincerely mean it.
