Prayer is Not the Key to Move God…It is the Key to Move Us.
Posted on 15. Sep, 2011 by Colton.
I know in my life there are times where I get confused with what the purpose of prayer is. Lord, help me with this, help me with that…but God is not an order taker. It is not wrong to pray for these things, but more often than not, prayer should spark action. Yes there are [...]
