Looking for Children's Hearts

I've been thinking some more about this post from the other day, especially the part I implied but didn't write.

Consequently this has been the prayer bubbling up in my heart today:

Lord, help me to see the openness, the potential for openness, to You in each person. Help me see it, help me honor it, help me not to block it nor to send it closed any further. Give me the patience, the wisdom, the courage that honoring that openness, that potential, requires. Help me to be genuine, to be childlike, but yet to stay aware of how "a little child will lead them." For that's the goal, Lord. Help me be a child so that I may lead other children to You.
