When We Get More Than We Bargained For
We don’t always pay attention to what we pray for.  Too often, we can get caught up in prayers of repetition (which Jesus warned us about in Matthew 6:7 ), or we don’t actually think through the implications of what we are asking for in our prayers. Read More...
