He opened the magazine and saw a picture of a little pink dinosaur. Liking what he saw, the four year old boy set his heart on having one and he prayed to God. However, the magazine was a few years old and his mum kept quiet knowing her son’s request was impossible.
On Christmas Eve, a box packed by a distant relative arrived and everyone in the house unpacked the box with excitement but they remained skeptical if the boy will ever get the gift he’s been praying for. When they reached to the bottom of the box, they were dumbfounded; a pink plastic brontosaurus. The pink brontosaurus was a last minute item tossed into the box; something so insignificant from a fast food promotion yet it was the answer to the prayer of a four year old son of a missionary family in Africa.
Most times we feel foolish bothering God with small things but the Bible encourages us to pray about everything no matter how petty they may be. He is interested in every detail concerning your life; if it is important to you, it is also important to HIM. The very hairs on your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:29-30), no concern is too small for God and when you learn to trust God in little things, you will be able to trust Him in big ones as well.
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
