When you pray, are you praying because you want to see something happen, or are you praying because you want to see God make something happen? There’s a big difference between the two.

It usually feels nice to be able to choose what you want for breakfast or the type of car you want.

Whenever the word “obedience” is used, it usually has very negative connotations. Most people take it to mean that their life is being interfered with. It stands in opposition to their will.

His Word is your protection, your encouragement...
