One Sunday in a Midwest city a young child was "acting up" 
during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best 
to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing 
the battle. Finally the father picked the little fellow up 
and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before 
reaching the safety of the foyer the little one called loudly 
to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"

A four-year-old girl was learning to say the Lord's Prayer. She was
reciting it all by herself without help from her mother. She said, "And
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some e-mail.  AMEN."
 
===
A daddy was listening to his child say his prayer "Dear Harold". 
At this, dad interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, "How come you 
called God, "Harold"? The little boy looked up and said, "That's 
what they call Him in church. You know the prayer we say, "Our Father, 
who art in Heaven, Harold be Thy name."
 
===
And this particular four-year-old prayed: "And forgive us our 
trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a loud whistle from 
one of the back pews. Gary's mother was horrified. She pinched him into 
silence, and after church, asked: "Gary, whatever made you do such a thing?" Gary 
answered soberly: "I asked God to teach me to whistle... And He just then did!"

One night Mike's parents overheard this prayer. "Now I lay me down to 
rest,and hope to pass tomorrow's test, if I should die before I wake, that's 
one less test I have to take."

A rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy: "So your mother says your
prayers for you each night? Very commendable. What does she say?" The 
little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"

Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he 
emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a 
prayer.
"Fine," said the pleased mother. "If you ask God to help you not 
misbehave, He will help you." "Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me not misbehave," 
said Johnny." "I asked Him to help you put up with me."

A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if You can't make me a better 
boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am!"
