[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Bold Prayers by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

How bold are your prayers?

As John Wesley crossed the Atlantic, he was reading in his cabin and became
aware of heavy winds knocking the ship off course. He responded in prayer.
A colleague wrote it down: “Almighty and everlasting God…Thou holdest the
winds in thy fists and sittest upon the water floods…command those winds
and these waves that they obey Thee. Take us speedily and safely to the
haven whither we would go.”

Having offered the prayer, Wesley took up his book and continued
reading. On deck his colleague found calm winds and the ship on
course. Wesley made no mention of the answered prayer. His friend wrote,
“So fully did he expect to be heard that he took it for granted he *was*
 heard.”

How bold are *your* prayers?
