    Learn to persevere in prayer - "pull" by the hope we have in Christ, and keep up the "push" in faith.

    How do you normally approach God? Do we come to Him with determination and passion? Or as someone whom we turn to only when it’s convenient? To drop Him a line only when we can? The way we approach Him reveals a lot about ourselves – do I really need Him? How much do I really depend on Him? Do ...read more
