Begin with an insignificant seed which you will have to water. Then, watch for its tiny shoot. Prayer begins with waiting.
Imagine your seedling a great tendril growing like Jack’s beanstalk up, up, up, the means by which you climb to heaven and lift others by your rising concern.
Prayer is not a magic bean, but the linking of earth and heaven from which God rains fruitfulness, blessings on the just and unjust.
