Little House on the Prairie

Another beloved classic, "Little House on the Prairie," was firmly rooted in faith, prayer, and Scripture. These themes regularly appeared in the Ingalls family's life. In many cases, the series portrayed faith alongside suffering. This approach suggested belief doesn't necessarily prevent hardship.

For example, in Season 1, Episode 13, "The Lord Is My Shepherd," guilt-ridden Laura runs away following the sudden death of her newborn brother. Laura feels jealous about her baby brother, and since she hadn't prayed for him, she believes she caused his death. In the mountains, she meets a man named Jonathon, who offers her counsel and comfort, letting her know she is forgiven and loved. Many viewers interpret him as a guardian angel.
