Prayer

An adorable two-year-old girl was caught praying in her crib after her parents turned on their baby monitor and found her counting her blessings before she fell asleep. Kathryn Whitt, a preschool teacher from Seneca, South Carolina, shared the heartwarming footage of her daughter Sutton praying while alone in her bedroom on Facebook. 'We put Sutton to bed about an hour ago and then heard noise coming from her room,' she wrote. 'We turned on her baby monitor and found her praying! Wish we could have gotten the whole thing recorded. You've got to watch this! So sweet!'

The video, which has been viewed more than 400,000 times since it was posted, sees the toddler laying on her back as she names all of the people she is grateful for. Sutton plays with the bottom of her shirt as she rattles off almost every name she can think of - including Santa Claus. The little girl also names her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, her friend from school, and of course, her mommy and daddy, who got more than one shout out. Always grateful: In the clip, Sutton can be seen thanking her parents, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, and even Santa Claus during her lengthy prayer.

Ruth Decker, Sutton's grandmother, wrote: 'That sweet prayer brought tears to my eyes. So precious.' While Cassie Phillips Boggs added: 'That is so precious!!
