How bold are your prayers?

This is Max Lakato.

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 sitest upon the water

floods. Command those winds and these waves that they obey thee, take us speedily and safely

to the haven whether we would go. Having offered the prayer, Wesley took up his book and continued reading.

On deck, his colleague found calm winds in 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?
