Christians oftentimes seem frightened by prayer. They are either afraid that praying really does not work, that they are doing it wrong, or that they may get what is best for them rather than what they want at that moment.
Once the mercurial Mary Queen of Scots once fretted, “I fear the prayers of John Knox more than an army of 20,000 men.”
Maybe the fecundity of our prayer life is best determined when it causes fear!
