Will your prayer...

"It is finished!" Jn 19:30 NIV One of Christ's last declarations from the cross was, "It is finished." That phrase comprises just one word in Greek, tetelestai, meaning "paid in full."

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.!" Ps 23:1 NIV We need to know two things: (1) Our shepherd's character. Jesus distinguished good shepherds from bad ones (See Jn 10:11- 16).

Paul made the contrast between being drunk with wine and being filled wi...
