\nThis is the first in a series of prayers written by children from St Andrews Church<\/a>, Brussels.

\n\"Thank
\n <\/p>\n

Praise the Lord for what he does.
\nPraise him because he is good.
\nLord our God is always near us, day and night.
\nHe always will remember us.<\/p>\n

For it is like he created a great big fantastic tree,
\nwith his followers names on it,
\nand keeping watch over those people,
\nincluding me.<\/p>\n

You will always know me.
\nThank you for my love that I share.
\nFor you are the greatest God ever.
\nThank you because you teach people your word, and your greatness.
\nYou are a great person because you sent prophets to the Israelites
\nto encourage them to fight Jericho and other things too.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sending your unstopping,
\nnever giving up, unbreaking love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
