    The way you pray reminds you who is in charge. Before Jesus ever taught us to ask Him for anything, He tells us to recognize the One who is in charge of everything.

    There was a little boy who was kneeling by his bed with his mom to say his nighttime prayers. He began to shout to the top of his lungs, “Dear God, I’ve been real good this year so please let me get a new bicycle for my birthday.” His mom said, “Johny, God is not deaf; you ...read more
