I wonder sometimes whether my prayers are more fence than gate. Granted, the metaphor is limited. I'm not suggesting God is a bull, nor that you are his rodeo rider. But, can we consider the gate and fence images for a moment?\n\nPrayer app: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/prayer-app-prayer-journal-for-christian/id351404498?mt=8","author_name":"Malcolm Cox","author_url":"https://embeds.audioboom.com/channels/4909728-malcolm-cox","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/29163577/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
