These past few days my son was playing the race car game on the internet and he was able to clear the lower level using his own abilities. When it came to a higher level, he always came in 6th place and he was crying so hard.
I tried to console him. “Just try your best,” I said. He was still crying. ” Try another game” and he was still grumbling. No matter how I try to console him, he was still tearing up.
Finally, I said, ” Why don’t you pray to Jesus?” He asked me how to pray. So, I said,”Pray to Jesus to give you faster hands. Pray to Jesus to give you a clear mind. Pray to Jesus that you will clear the level of the game you are stuck at.” And he prayed with me.
Then he asked,” Then what is Jesus going to do?”. So, I said, “Jesus is going to work through you. He will give you faster hands and a clear mind if only you believe. But, you must do your part, you must also learn, you must also know where are the rocks and obstacles near the track. ” Only then did he stopped crying and started to be positive and talking about how to clear the game. He said he believe in Jesus already.
My son has to come to the end of being able to rely on his own ability to be able to depend on Jesus. He cleared the difficult level today. I hope he has increased his faith in Jesus.
