IYD: So, what are some of the things that you tell God when you talk to Him?
AF: I ask Him to bless my family and to protect my family. I ask Him to help those who are in
need. I ask God to bless the people who haven’t asked Him into their hearts and to protect the
poor people. I say, “Let the weak become strong and let the poor become rich.” I just pray for
protection over the Earth and then I say, “Amen.”

IYD: What are some things that God has told you
when He speaks to you?
AF: He tells me that He loves me.

“It’s very important!
I t ’s i m p o r t a n t
because God is
talking to you and
He is important! “

IYD: How often do you have conversations with
God or pray to God?
AF: I pray every night before I go to bed. I also pray
with my friends. Once, at the park with one of my
friends, when we were both on the swings, I asked her,
“Have you asked God into your heart?” She said, “No.”
So, then I told her to say: “Heavenly Father.” She said,
“Heavenly Father.” Then I blessed her and told her how to ask Jesus into her heart. Then Jesus
came into her heart. Another time was when my friend’s goldfish died. I gave her a letter to ask her
to come out and to tell her that I wanted to pray with her. So, she came out. She had a basket of
things for her goldfish. We laid it by her tree and then we prayed. So, I said, “Heavenly Father, I
thank you for Valeria’s goldfish. I pray that you protect it and that you keep it safe in Jesus’ name.
Amen.” Then she prayed the same thing.
IYD: Wow! So, you’re not only having conversations with God, but you’re also helping other
people to have conversations with God! Good for you!

IYD: How important do you think it is to have conversations with God? Why is it so important
to talk to God and to listen for what He says to you?
AF: It’s very important! It’s important because God is talking to you and He is important!
It is said that “communion is God's communication to us coupled with our response to Him—all in such a
way that He's glorified and we're glad.” Our Heavenly Father delights in revealing Himself to those who
delight in seeking and finding Him, age and experience notwithstanding.
Abby Findlay’s initial and subsequent conversations with God surely attest to this. To God be the glory!
