Today we went to AGTS again. Jeremiah insisted on going into the prayer chapel. I told him we would go in quickly if no one was there. He could pick one country, say a quick prayer and leave.

After going in, I saw two men praying in the corners. I tried to hurry Jeremiah along so we wouldn’t bother the gentlemen. Jer quickly kneeled by the Sri Lanka flag and prayed a brief whispery prayer.

As I was trying to coax my little ones out of the chapel, one of the men came and asked Jeremiah what country he was praying for. We told him then he gave both kids high fives and told them how cool it is that they were praying.

After we left AGTS, Jeremiah asked about Sri Lanka. He wanted to know if there is a war there because he had prayed that God would keep them safe today.

I admitted that I don’t know much about the country, but that we could read about it when we got home.

I forgot about the prayer until I went to Google News and saw this article on the top of the page.

I read the headline to Jeremiah:

“Over 50 Dead in Sri Lanka Fighting, Bombing.”

“Wow.” He replied. “Good that I prayed for them.”
