what do you tell your 5 year old when she asks you why jesus isn't answering her prayers? why. you ask. then she begins to explain that she has been praying every morning and night that daddy's crop will be okay and it isn't. how do you explain something you yourself have a hard time understanding? just have faith, little one, heavenly father knows what is best for us and knows what our family needs. we will be blessed. just have faith.
