At the age of 3, Eunice asked me this question for a few times. When Eunice was holding a cup of milk, she prayed.
Eunice : Thank you God for giving me and Isaac the milk. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen (of course, in Cantonese)
Eunice : Mom, why we need to say "In Jesus' Name"?
Mom : (hesitate for a second, Don't expect her to ask this question.) You asked Daddy la.
Eunice : (the second time) Mom, why we need to say "In Jesus' Name"?
Mom : It is because we are christian. (What an answer!) Ask Daddy la.
Eunice : (the third time) Mom, why we need to say "In Jesus' Name"?
Mom : Drink milk please and I will tell you later.
It is hard to think what Eunice is thinking. She is only 3 years old and asks this spiritual question. (Mom, you need to back to basic! )

Yes, I agree it's a very difficult qustion to answer. It reminds me to think whether I have Jesus in my mind when I pray? I usually have a quick prayer before my meal. I hope I don't treat it as my daily task before meal but an appreciaiton of God's provision of food or other necessities.
Thanks, Eunice!
Clara :)
