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 […]
Are you at or headed for a crossroad? How does that make you feel! Fearful? Slightly excited? Looking for a way out? So many other thoughts and emotions! Being at a crossroad really isn’t a new experience, however each time you’ve been at one – it rarely is the same emotional experience. Soooo are all
