The Children Will Lead Us

“Through the praise of children and infants, you overcome your enemies and silence your foes.” (Psalm 8: 2)

When we listen to the praise of the children we silence the curses of the critics.

Father,

   Thank you that in the praises of children we may be encouraged,

      That the doubting words of the critics are silenced by the simple faith of the pure.

   Help me to listen more to children and less to critics,

      Fill me with childlike faith and wonder,

      And the pure joy only children possess.

Amen
