He decided to make a cake for a friend who was feeling a little sad. Great idea one might think, until you consider what he put into it!
Now the beans and the tomato sauce wasn't too bad. As for the sugar and the flour - well that was ok. But the Flash and the washing up liquid... well things were starting to get a little weird! The end result - well not sure I would eat it!
The point? Well prayer is about communicating with God, it's about bringing our needs and our concerns to him as well as other things.
Jesus makes it very clear that God is one that loves us and cares for us - so if we ask for something he is only going to give us what is good for us. So no way would God be giving us a cake like that!
So we paused for thought - to reflect on the great truth that God loves all of us and that we can be confident that he hears our prayers and responds to them out of the great love he has for us.
