    The Proper Attitude In Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,465 views

The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more

    Although Paul desired to be in the Lord's presence, he knew it was more needful to remain for the church. He was determined to glorify Christ in life or death. We too need to remain committed and faithful to the work the Lord given us.
