    What makes faith great; it’s not the strength of your faith, it’s the strength of the God in whom you put your faith.

  • Learning To Pray-Ask Day-Three Devotional

    Contributed on Feb 27, 2026
     | 61 views

    Asking is an elementary form of dependence upon God.

    Remember, prayer is a relationship with God, and part of that relationship is prayer-asking. Why does God want us to ask Him for anything? Isn’t God all-knowing? Can our prayer-asking make any difference? Didn’t Jesus say, “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” ...read more
