Jodie Berndt: Praying for parking spaces? Here's why it's OK to talk to God about the 'little stuff'

I had just finished speaking to an audience of well-heeled professionals in Greenwich, Connecticut, and when the moderator opened the floor for questions, a woman quickly spoke up. But her question was not directed toward me. It was for my daughter, Virginia.

This was a first. My children rarely (never?) show up at my speaking gigs, but Virginia lives in New York City and had made the trip out. Never one to shy away from an honest question, she jumped up and grabbed hold of the mic.  Praying about the small stuff opens our eyes to the "ordinary" blessings God provides every day.  "I didn’t like it," she said.
