We also heard a story about a boy who prayed for something that was not good for him, and the answer to his prayer was "no". Syler helpfully told us that his brother had recently prayed that he would be able to advance quickly to the next level of his video game, and that prayer was not answered the way he wanted, either! We talked about how some things we want would not be safe or healthy, and some things are just not necessary for us to have.
The children pretended that they were parents and took turns saying how they would respond to requests from their children. They loved it, especially when they could tell their imaginary offspring no! We talked about how our parents usually know what is best for us, and our Heavenly Father always does.
