Nothing's too trivial for prayer

JANET E. HALFPENNEY

A friend was taking a driving test. She was extremely nervous and was even saying she might ask a doctor for tranquilizers. Knowing that she was an enthusiastic member of a neighboring church, I suggested that she pray about it. "Oh I couldn't do that. I wouldn't want to bother God with something so trivial," she said. "He hasn't got time for such small things."

Does this suggestion of God's "busyness" or lack of time sometimes put a barrier between the Christian and prayer? Perhaps we should take another look at the Master's example.
