    Prayer Keys - Humility Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Feb 16, 2012
     | 8,756 views

    Humility is being totally consumed with glorifying God and not at all concerned with glorifying self. When I am totally consumed with glorifying God and not at all concerned with glorifying self, I pray as God wants me to pray.

Heb. 4:16 This is another verse where I prefer the King James Bible language that says, “boldness.” Boldness is a biblical ...read more
