“So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Lord, are God alone.”” — 2 Kings 19:19
Prayer is the soul’s CONFESSION of NEED. It reveals: What we think of God. What we think of ourselves. And what we think of what God thinks of us.
Our willingness to ONGOINGLY CONFESS our sin struggles to GOD, and to ONE ANOTHER, is beautiful evidence that we are living in grace. STAYING PERSISTENT in prayer in the best thermometer of our spiritual temperature! And HUMILITY OF HEART is the key to it all!
"We know we are getting close to a humble heart when we care about and pray for ALL people - even those that don't care about us." — Brian Tuten, today's message
