Could it be that many of our problems with prayer and much of our weakness in prayer come from the fact that we are not all on active duty, and yet we still try to use the transmitter? We have taken a wartime walkie-talkie and tried to turn it into a civilian intercom to call the servants for another cushion in the den… We see repeatedly in Scripture (Mt. 9:38; Lk. 21:34-36; Rom. 15:30-31; Eph. 6:12, 17-19; Col. 4:3; 2 Thes. 3:1) that prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic intercom for increasing our conveniences.

once, to butter mixture, stirring vigorously with whisk until smooth and
thick. Add onions to sauce and reheat.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and paprika.
Can make ahead and reheat in Microwave just before serving.
If using very small onions, cut sauce ingredients down by 1/3. Can do in
Microwave.
Variations:
Cheese - Add 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese to the sauce before adding
the onions.
Mushroom: Saute 1/2 pound sliced mushrooms and add to sauce with the
onions.
Thyme: Substitute 1 tsp. or less of thyme to sauce and omit paprika.
