The question was fairly popular. Candidates were to write on what James taught about prayer and to identify obstacles to prayer according to James. Some pointed out the need for faith, persistence, forgiveness and intercession in prayer',
Some brought in their own ideas outside the teaching of James and so they had poor marks.
On the obstacles to prayer according to James, candidates introduced their own obstacles not referring to the teachings of James. They failed to mention (i) cheerless heart (ii) lack of wisdom (iii) lack of persistence/lack of consistence (iv) request for selfish purpose etc.
