Under the Parsonage Roof by Althea S. Miller PRAYER

M other, will you ask Daddy for that billfold I loaned him?” Bill inquired. “You ask him, son. He’s your Dad. He doesn’t bite.” “You ask him,” the 17-year-old insisted with a shy smile. “He’s your husband.” “Yes, you ask him, Mama,” the voice of eight-year-old Kent waft­ ed from the living room where he was coloring pictures. “You can do more with him than we can.” Mother and her older son about collapsed as they stood in the kitchen laughing at the wee wis­ dom which emanated from the small fry. “ If I can, I hadn’t noticed it,” Mother wryly commented. “The trouble with you youngsters is you try to ask things of Dad when he is on the run, or has a thousand other things on his mind.” “The trouble is, Dad’s free time (if any) and our free time never coincide. It’s hard for us to know when the right time is to ap­ proach him,” Bill concluded thoughtfully as he went to look for Daddy. Bill’s provocative statement brought into sharp focus a prob­ lem which is common in most preachers’ families. The pastor has so many problems and burdens to carry and deal with among his parishioners, he has little time or strength to be the devoted daddy or husband he desires to be. In fact, most pastors’ wives try to shield their husbands from the small irritations of the home, knowing as perhaps no other per­ son can know, the drain on the re­ sources of their husbands as they cope with the heartaches and foibles of man. But preachers’ families, and all God’s children have a source of power, refreshment and renewal in prayer. The failure of prayer lies not in God Who said: “Call unto me, and I will answer thee . . . ” (Jer. 33:3), but in His children who fail to obey. We have power at our disposal which will move the arm of God in our behalf. God help us to tap this source of Un­ touched Power and do great things —for Him by prayer.
