KIDS' PLACE

A BREATH OF FRESH PRAYER

From the February 2006 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I live in Hamburg, Germany and my friends at school call me "Jojo." I enjoy horseback riding, playing the guitar, listening to my CDs, and recently I've gotten pretty interested in studying the ancient Maya Indians. Someday, I think I'd even like to be a research explorer.

I also like to spend some time each day praying. Usually, I read something from the Bible and Science and Health, or sometimes I just think quietly about God. Since I was little, I've had a lot of healings through prayer and learning more about my relationship with God.

When I was about eight years old I would sometimes have the feeling that I wasn't getting enough air, and I suddenly couldn't breathe well. I decided to pray about this condition with my mom, who is a Christian Science practitioner. We prayed with the idea that God is Love and His love gives me everything I need every moment—including air!
