Falling Shorts (a nervous first public prayer)
Illustration★★A young man was called on to pray during a revival meeting at his church. It was his first time to pray in public so he was very nervous. As he prayed, he stammered these words, “…And Lord, we fail you so often…Please forgive us for our falling shorts.
