rich 1.0 Do your prayers fence God in, or release the power of his Spirit?  Consider these verses: “And I will do whatever you ask in my name.......” (John 14:13) “...ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.” (John 15:7 NIV) The rodeo bull is frustrated waiting for the gate to open but all explosive energy once let loose. 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?
