Children's Letters to God

I came across this book, Children's Letters to God, while unpacking some of Gabe's books the other day and I couldn't help but smile as I read its pages. Kids are awesome!! Oh to have their innocence and faith in approaching and relating to God. So unashamed and honest. It's no small wonder that Christ has challenged us to become like children in our pursuit of Him. Here's a few of their precious prayers that especially touched my heart and made me smile:
(all prayers are in original formatting, including spelling, grammar and punctuation, etc.)
