    And he is VERY well-spoken for a 3 and a half year old. Taking time to wait for responses before he goes on? Pretty darn good! A little leader in the making.

    Actually "make it nourishment for our bodies" is an excellent prayer for food these days. Lots of the times the nutrients are not very bio-available. So that prayer sounds good to me.
    I find that asking God for natural processes to continue to function results in pretty high rates of success. But God does not seem to answer many prayers for the laws of the universe to be suspended, strangely enough. From what I know of God, I’d guess that the boy’s prayer was answered in that regard, but I suspect that if he’d prayed, for whatever reason, for the food not to be digested after they ate it, God wouldn’t answer that one.

    Do you want me to start a thread with links for people witnessing as to how God suspended natural law for them and did a miracle? I can. There are so many stories of miraculous healings. This year I found Sid Roth's "It's Supernatural" on youtube and I like to watch once in a while just to lift my spirits. In the Catholic Church, every Saint canonized needs at least 2 well-certified miracles besides all the other checks, with expert medical testimony. I am sure any doctor can tell you they know of patients unexplainable healed who credit it to God's intervention.

    Prophets now, in huge numbers, like nothing I have ever seen in my life, are telling us that we are coming into a time of great spiritual revival, like never seen before, with many, many miracles of healing. There will be so many that no one can miss them, more than in any time in the history of man. So you will see miracles in your lifetime. I believe this is going to happen, because I believe the prophets I am listening to. I have been a Christian all my life, and I have never seen anything like the number and consistency of the messages of the prophets like today. I like to tune into them once in awhile too, to lift my spirits.

    And this little boy is thanking God for an every day miracle - food for today. Good for him. Many people don't take it for granted. Like the girl from North Korea I posted earlier. This boy is a dear friend of God, Who loves the little children. He is hearing their prayers, and children of the world are being blessed by them, as they are asking! No prayer is wasted.

    I agree, if they prayed for the food NOY to nourish the body, God wouldn't grant that. He is good, and that is not good. (But if you were praying for him to do a not-good thing, you would be praying to some other god, anyway. But I do think it is a good prayer because food is not always excellent nourishment for the body. Lots of overweight people are considered to be "starving" (so they are always hungry). A lot of food has nutrients that are good for you but barely bio-available. Also various dysfunctions in the body can make it not very bio-available (leaky gut syndrome, the need for enzymes, i.e.) So for that reason I personally I think it's a real good prayer.
