Bobby had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer. "Fine", said the pleased mother. "If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you." "Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me not misbehave," said Johnny. "I asked Him to help you put up with me 9 Bobby was kneeling beside his bed with his father and grandfather and softly saying his prayers, "Dear God, please bless Mummy and Daddy and all the family and please give me a good night's sleep." Suddenly he looked up and shouted, "And don't forget to give me a bicycle for my birthday!!" "There is no need to shout like that," said his father. "God isn't deaf." "No," said Bobby, "but Grandpa is." 8 Bobby called the pastor of a local church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending another church. So the pastor asked, "Shouldn't you be asking the pastor of the church you are attending to come by to pray with your mom?" Bobby replied, "Yeah, but I didn't want to take the chance that he might catch whatever this is that Mom has." 7 Yes, Bobby, I think it is safe to confess your sins in your prayers without your lawyer present.” 6 Bobby: “… and give us our trespasses as we give it to those who trespass against us.” 5 Bobby: “Lord, now that my parents are gone there are a few other things I would like to pray about.” 4 Bobby: "Hello, is this the Guinness World Record place? I would like to register my pastor for the world’s longest prayer." 3 “Hello, this is the United Nations. How can I help you?”“This is Bobby. Do you have any prayer requests you want me to pray about?” 2 To: [email protected] Subject: Requests From: Bobby (This may seem a little impersonal but I think I will improve my prayers two hurndred percent.) 1 During a revival an evangelist asked the people in line what they needed.Bobby's request was for his hearing. The evangelist spit on his finger, put it in the man's ear, prayed for him and asked him, 'How's your hearing now?'Bobby replied, 'I don't know I have to be in court next Tuesday.' |
