Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
It was a softcover book with a picture of Jesus kneeling in prayer. As a child, I never saw color or how anyone will know in this century what he liked, but I believed it was Jesus, and I held it tight in my hands at night.
It became my safety shield at night when I couldn’t sleep or had bad dreams. I would keep it by my pillow and pray for a good night’s sleep, then close my eyes.
Several years later, I found it and smiled in remembrance of its significance in my childhood. I don’t use it any longer. Understanding I only need to call on the Lord anytime, anywhere without the use of props to make me feel safe.
I have him with me always.
