    A Leper's Prayer

    Contributed by Bishop Malcolm Coby, Ph. D. on Aug 20, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,797 views

    Life often presents extreme conditions from which we pray to overcome. Some conditions are described as hopeless. How do you pray in such times? This sermon challenges us to learn from a deplorable condition known as leprosy. Hear the prayer of a leper.

I can’t think of a situation more drastic, more hideous or more undesirable than that of the life of a ...read more
