Awesome little story about prayers

This is something I have been struggling with all my life. Obviously before I really started to try to walk with Christ I didn't focus on praying. But lately I have been trying to pray and have those "talks" with God. Recently my 6 year old boy and I had a prayer that we both prayed for together and at separate times. Here is the story.

Anyone who knows Zack, knows that he freaks out when he is going to the doctors, starts crying before we even leave the house. Sometimes has been known to cry weeks in advance. Even when he is strong he always cries when we make it to the dr and he gets called back. Recently he had to go get two fillings done at a specialist dentist and he was nervous about it. We tried a couple of things different, first is I went to the appointment also. The other thing is the night before Zack and I were talking and him and I prayed that God would give him the courage to make it through without getting stressed. I also said a prayer on my own to the same effect the day of the fillings on my way to meet them for the appointment. He made it through the procedure no tears at all, he was very strong and after when him and I were driving home he told me that God helped him through. Talk about making you believe even more that God is always out there helping us, always looking out for us.

So 6 years old and his first real prayer to God was answered. That's just awesome.
