Mr O, why are there so many awkward silences in our prayer meetings?
It’s not only in prayer meetings that we find awkward silences, is it? Again and again the Lord gives us golden opportunities to speak a word for him, and we clam up and say nothing.
I wish that weren’t true. But, yes, it is. Why? What stops us speaking up, either in prayer meetings or in witnessing?
A few days ago I went to visit a family that I had only recently met. As we chatted in their kitchen I noticed that they had an old-fashioned whistling kettle sitting on their stove. But it wasn’t whistling. Do you know why?
