Did you know when Janice Kapp Perry wrote "A Child’s Prayer" she was waiting for an answer to prayer herself? She wanted to know if Heavenly Father was there and that He was listening. And do you remember the answer that question? In the second verse Perry writes, "He hears your prayer / He loves the children." Those simple yet beautiful words remind us of Matthew, chapters 6–7, when Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount. In His message, He shares instruction on prayer and gives the same reassurance that we receive in that Primary song—that He knows and loves each one of us.
