Childlike Faith
Lord give me the faith of a little child
To believe the unimaginable and wild
To know without doubt what you say
Is the truth and that it is the only way
Let me ask with full deep belief in You
To see that every single Word is true
‘Cause Daddy said so, is all that I need
For pure childlike faith to You I plead.
There is and can be no other way
Knowing that everything will be okay
Because My Dad said that it will be so
My Father is all I really need to know
Brothers and Sisters,
I have been having this theme running around (like a child) in my head for about a week. It kept coming back to a childlike faith. I hope it is because I do feel childlike in God’s presence. I feel like a child trying to please and impress my Father.
I didn’t get it in the poem, but I wanted to touch on it being similar to a father telling his terrified child that there is no monster under the bed…and if there was daddy would beat it up and protect the child. A Father/child relationship is a great example of faith (ideally, as not everyone has the same happy and blessed childhood).
Too many times we act or try to be "mature" in our walk and forget that we are to be child like.
I pray this has put a smile on someone today and that it also makes you think. God bless.

We do need to be like little children with our Father God. God wants to love us and teach us. We need to be obedient to his will for our lives. Not to struggle trusting him, but to trust like a child trusts. Thank you for sharing this article.
