So, Alexander has been coming into our room consistantly around 3 a.m. telling us he's scared and has had a bad dream and there's a monster in his room. What parent can say they haven't lived this scenario?
So I've been praying with him before bedtime and it goes something like this:
Mommy: Jesus, please be with Alexander tonight. Help him to sleep good and have a restful night in his big-boy bed. Help him to have sweet dreams, help him to have good dreams about tractors and golf carts and swimming and...
Alexander: No, no, Mommy, we already prayed to dream about tractors.
Mommy: Well, you don't want to dream about tractors tonight?
Alexander: ummm, no. I dreamed about tractors last night.
Mommy: Okay, what do you want to pray for to dream about tonight?
Alexander: ummmm, ummmm, (are you noticing the stall tactic, yet?) ummmm, coloring, watching TV, riding my 4-wheeler, oh and my sisters!
Oh, if it were that easy!!
