He knew he was called to be a modern-day judge, just like in the book of Judges.

But he was a timid soul.

So he prayed.

And he prayed more, . . and more, . . and more.

And his prayers morphed into praise and worship,

and became continuous.

Every waking moment; under his breath when with others, yet audible.

And he walked boldly and in peace and prosperity in his calling.

Ephesians 6:18 (ERV) Pray in the Spirit at all times.  Pray with all  kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need.  To do this you must always be ready.  Never give up.  Always pray for all of God's people.
