Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 26, 2019

Giving a voice to our soul through prayers benefits us more than it benefits God. It tells us about who we are and where we stand. Acknowledging something is the beginning of healing.

We, as Christians, have learned to stand before God and pray. Not only did Jesus pray almost all the time, but He also taught us how to pray. He gave us the Lord's Prayer as a sample to follow.

The Easiest Way To Miss Out On Heaven
