Jesus said in Matthew 21:22 that you’ll receive whatever you ask in prayer, believing. So how do you pray in faith? First, when asking God for anything, it’s important to have an attitude of thanks. Philippians 4:6 says, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by...
Today, as we reflect upon our country’s history and heritage, let’s also take a special time to pray. We are living in perilous times, and our ship of state must navigate through unprecedented storms and uncharted waters. We can find great comfort in Isaiah 9:6-7,...
