     | 4,828 views

    In our last message, we noted that proper prayer begins with REVERENCE. This morning, we are going to look at the next two statements which move us from REVERENCE to SUBMISSION in our prayers.

I had an early morning flight and then flew most of the day. By the time I got home, I was exhausted. Yet I didn’t ...read more
