How do answered prayers shape our children—and us?
We moved to a new community days after the lockdowns began in 2020. Willow had no friends, which upset her. She decided to pray every day for God to give her a neighbor her age who could be a friend. We prayed every time we walked through our neighborhood.
It wasn’t too long before we discovered that our neighbor two doors down had a grandchild, a year or so older than Willow. To everyone’s delight, Willow was convinced that the girl was an answer to our prayers, and the two bonded immediately. It turned out that the neighbor’s values were much like ours. It truly seemed like a friendship from Heaven.
I often reflected that Willow’s delight and wonder upon meeting our neighbor’s grandchild grew out of committing this need to God in prayer. I admit that my perspective of God was challenged. I envisioned God as One who focused on adult things, about serious requests, about the problems that I couldn’t solve myself. I began to see God as One who cared about everything—even Willow’s small needs and her concerns about her stuffed animals. While I had internally rolled my eyes at Willow’s prayers for toys, valuing them only as practice for “more important” requests, I came to realize that everything Willow prayed for mattered to God—simply because it mattered to Willow.
Our new neighborhood friend became a great blessing and presence in our lives. Truly, God answered Willow’s prayer far beyond my imagination. It seemed like a special friendship that God gave to Willow because God loved her and was drawing near her. I was amazed to discover that my daughter had a connection with the great God of the universe.
It gave new meaning to my view of the little things in Willow’s world. I learned to value her concerns and thoughts about things I had once dismissed as trivial. Realizing that the tiny details in Willow’s life were important to God helped me care about them too, and by extension, to care more deeply about Willow.
It’s transformative to see the full humanity of our child—to realize that our child is not a task to manage, but a complex human whose feelings matter, and who wants to be heard and seen. That realization changed me. I wanted to see Willow as God saw her; I wanted to care about whatever mattered to her, and I wanted to know her opinions on everything.
