Prayer Is A Beautiful Thing
Colossians 4:2 ~ Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Why is it, that we tend to look at prayer as a last resort? Oh...come on..don't tell me you always think "let me pray first." We like to think of ourselves this way. We like for others to think of us …
