Asking the Lord to Help Him in His Lessons
D. W. Whittle · The Wonders of Prayer, 1885
"A little boy was at school, he was diligent, and determined to succeed, but found that parsing was rather hard.
"One day he went to his mamma for a little help in analyzing some sentences. She told him the proper manner of doing it, and he followed her directions; but he was much troubled that he could not understand the whys and wherefores himself.
"His mamma told him it was rather hard for him then, but that after he had studied a little longer, it would be quite easy.
"Johnnie went into another room to study alone, but after a little came back, his face perfectly radiant with joy. He said: 'O mamma, I want to begin again. I asked Jesus to help me, and now I think I see just how it is. He always helps us when we ask him;' and with unspeakable delight he with his mamma went over his lesson again."
