Without opening her eyes: \u201cYes!\u201d While feeling the sun\u2019s warmth on her face: \u201cYes!\u201d Anticipating the next brush of wind as she swung forward: \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a special moment, and not just because she is my grandchild (one of my five favorite, in fact). It inspired me to pray.<\/p>\n<p>That evening as I retired to my prayer chair in my study, I leaned my head back against the chair. I closed my eyes. I pictured one of the day\u2019s many blessings. \u201cYes!\u201d <\/p>\n<p> I did it again, visualizing another beautiful moment: \u201cYes!\u201d And another: \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soon, tears were running down my face as, over and over, I spoke a single word to my gracious heavenly Father: \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I have since repeated that simple (but effective) prayer. And I have added a second.<\/p>\n<p>I hear a siren in the distance, signaling some emergency. I say, \u201cNo.\u201d In other words, \u201cDon\u2019t let the worst happen. Let no one be hurt.
