Little Annie's Prayer

LITTLE Annie wept bitterly when she understood that she was a sinner, and therefore not fit to dwell with God in heaven. Her Sunday school teacher tried to comfort her by saying that Jesus could wash away her sins in His blood, making her whiter than snow.
Annie covered her face with her hands, and was heard to utter these words: “Lord Jesus, I am a poor little sinner; please save me from hell and wash me clean in Thine own blood. Amen.”
Soon her tears ceased to fall, and looking up with a bright face, she said, “Jesus has heard me. He has washed away my sins in His most precious blood. I am made fit for heaven.”
So little Annie believed in Jesus the Lord as her Saviour, and became very happy. Have you, dear child, come to Jesus? If you believe on Him He will make you very glad. He will give you to know the pardon of all your sins and make you quite ready for heaven.
“Jesus calls to little children,
And His words are words of love:
Come to Me, receive My blessing,
Come to Me, and live above.”
