I can pray for myself
One day we were about to watch a program on television, and I was running down the stairs. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I felt I couldn't walk on it. I was really worried. Dad carried me downstairs. He told me that God is Love and that His love gives you only good. He also explained that listening to God means not listening to fear. And then I did the rest of the praying by filling my thoughts with good. My mum and dad helped, too.
I thought that God made me all spiritual and complete, without any mistake or belief in something that wasn't true about me. And if there was nothing missing out, I had to be perfect.
I started to calm down, and we watched the program. When I had to go to bed, my dad helped me upstairs. I tried to stretch my leg, but it still hurt. My mom put on some hymns on her iPod, and I thought about them. Then I quickly fell asleep.
