HOW I PRAYED FOR THE LOST BOY SCOUT

By Cosmo Coppola Rowell

I JUST TURNED TEN, and for a couple of years now, I have been praying for people that ask me for help. Sometimes I don't get very many people that ask, so now my mom and I watch the news together every day, and that gives me lots of ideas of who needs help and what to pray for. I really like finding stories about children that I can pray for because I would want people praying for me if I ever needed help.

Recently I was watching the news, and there was a story of a Boy Scout named Brennan Hawkins, who got lost in the mountains of Utah while he was on a camping trip. His parents were asking people to pray for him.

I'm a Boy Scout like Brennan, and last summer while I was on a hike, I got separated from my group and I got lost. I felt really afraid and was not sure which way to go. But I started praying about where to go and how God was with me all the time, no matter what, and pretty soon I found my way back to my group.
