Silly Prayers??
I wonder if God looks down at some of our prayers and thinks, "How silly!" As soon as a "wonder" comes into my mind about that, the next thought is NO WAY! God cares about the things of our lives. He said (1 Peter 5:7 NCV) "Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you." I guess "all" means "ALL."
Well, I'm going to ask you guys to begin praying about something that may seem a little silly to you all (I'm sure with the exception of Cecil). My son Brandon has begun preparing for baseball tryouts coming up January 29. He will be trying out for the JV team. As you may remember, we were distraught last year, along with most of our city, that he did not make the 8th grade team. I sure don't want to go through that again. So, I'm asking you to pray for us in this.
One encouragement is that he made the ninth grade basketball team. Their season is winding down, with our last game being next Tuesday. So, think about Brandon in the next few weeks and we would be so thankful!!

One only has to be a parent to know how many "silly" prayers are uttered.

I know what you mean my brother. Steven trys out for our high school's varsity once again this coming Tuesday.
My prayer for your son is that all his grounders be scoops and all of the pitches he faces be ropes hit into the outfield.

Their are no silly prayers, in my opinion, if the heart is right. As we mature, I think we understand that some of our earlier day prayers are perhaps "silly."
Teens do have fragile egos and their self esteem sometimes takes a pretty big hit so I will keep your son in prayers.
Peace.
