Prayer

I spent a good part of my day yesterday mowing the lawn. While I was mowing the tall weeds down the sides of my driveway, the mower ran out of gas. I put new gas in and tried to start it so I could finish and nothing. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it to start, so I gave up and thought I would try to get all the weeds cleaned up in the morning. This morning I spent a good hour trying to get my lawn mower started. Then I asked Travis to come out and start if for me. He always starts our lawn mower when I have a hard time getting it started. When he went out to start it, he pulled and pulled and nothing. He told me that he thought it was broken and he needed to take it apart and try to fix it after work. I called my mom telling her how frustrated I was about my lawn mower. I talked to her for awhile and at the end of our conversation she told me to pray for help with my lawn mower. I laughed and then we said goodbye to each other. I thought about what my mom said and decided I would pray. After saying my prayer I went right out pulled the string to start my lawn mower and it started right up. I'm a little sad that I needed to be reminded to pray. I think that when I was a child it was easier to pray for help with little things. Like Praying when a shoe was lost or when I was feeling scared or sad. I guess that sometimes it's hard to remember to pray for little things as we get older. I know that Heavenly Father is always there for us and that he hears and answers our prayers no matter how small they may seem. Thanks mom, for reminding me to pray. I love you!
