    Once on a car trip from Dallas to Chicago, John R. Rice prayed, "Lord, help me to find someone I can win." He then missed a turn in Oklahoma and drove fifty miles out of the way. At a gas station where he stopped to ask directions, he led the attendant to Christ. Still upset about the unplanned detour, his daughters giggled at him, reminding him of his earlier prayer.[34]

    I find myself praying, "Yes, I believe". But my natural cynicism (I call it 'realism') steps in. I have to add "Help my unbelief".

    Three steps forward ... two smacks back ... makes for slow going (but still a net forward progress). ;)
