How I Pray for My Friends

Erik is a prayer warrior in the making.

When Sofia skins her knee, Erik prays for her to feel better soon. And when Todd makes a goofy face behind Ms. Burdon's back, Erik prays that Todd would stop being so mean. With his eyes open or shut, in his thoughts or out loud, Erik prays for his friends through troubles and helps guide them on their way to heaven.
