Some people pray only in a crisis.
When merciful solutions come, He is courteously thanked, then more or less forgotten until the next crisis. The story is told of a little rich girl, accustomed to servants, who was afraid to climb a dark stairway alone. Her mother suggested that she overcome her fear by asking Jesus to go with her up the stairs. You may go now. Anticipate great things from God, but don't expect Him to come at your beck and call.
