Have you ever felt that you really weren’t off/away from the path and plans the Lord has for you… you just weren’t ON the path? Perhaps you (are) were walking parallel to the path so that meant you sometimes were in the ditch or brambles and the terrain was very uneven. Sometimes you may have […]
Prayer is composed of praise, worship … and asking. Do you ask the Lord for what you think (and even hope) you need? Do you think He’s really not interested? Do you think you have no right to ask? And I think you could probably come up with some other questions. Point being: how do
