A mother has shared an adorable video of her two-year-old daughter crying for Jesus Christ.

Emily Bannard, from Virginia, US said her daughter Ella Grace Pierce learned to pray at the tender age of one and has been devoted to Christ ever since.

She added that little Ella's yearning for Christ is so strong that she says Jesus loves her all the time.

She added: "We've always had strong faith in our family, Ella makes prayer a routine every night before bed and won't let you forget."

What a prayerful little girl! May she continue along the same path as she grows older.
