Pray Boldly!

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more
