A quote I picked up along the way…

Without that healing [of inner wounds], praying with authority feels arrogant and egotistical, and we withdraw from it … in an attempt to remain humble. “Humble, schmumble!” I can imagine Jesus shout. “Pick up the sword I died to give you, and use it!” To humbly reject the world’s applause is one thing; to “humbly” reject the call of God is quite another.
