A boy asked to pray for police officer, Jan Dykes, near a bus stop before he went to school. It shows the example how we should pray for each other often.
Dykes said, “He stopped me and was like, ‘Hey, before you leave, would mind if I prayed with you for your day and my day going to school?” She was finishing up her morning patrols at the bus stops.
“It was great,” she said. “He said, ‘I want to pray for this officers safety. I made a new friend. I really hope her day goes great, and hopefully she makes a lot of lives better and going to school and meeting new people.’ It was really great to think this kid had this much excitement.”
Dykes was touched by the little boy’s kindness and love. She didn’t know his name, but really want him know that it means so much for her.
“It brought a lot of joy to me for him to want to do that for me,” Dykes said. “Often times people are thinking, ‘How can you go and help them?’ and its just nice to see he wanted to do that for me. It made me happy and see someone so young and moldable and being so positive and wanting to be that light.”
