Powerful=Dangerous

This statement by Dallas Willard got me thinking. I’m beginning to develop a satisfying answer to why our prayer seems to lack the power Jesus said it should have.
One good public answer to our prayer might be enough to lock some of us into weeks of spiritual superiority. Great power requires great character if it is to be a blessing and not a curse, and that character is something we only grow toward.
Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy, p. 368

Everytime God shows us something or does something thru us, we can fall into thinking we did it.

Good stuff... a person with an answered prayer is full of Christian cliches... a person waiting on an answer to prayer needs to hear none of them.
