Jeremiah 29:12: “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.” Do you think that you can’t pray? Or maybe your prayers aren’t good enough? Yeah… we have all felt that way. And at times, I still feel that my prayers are inadequate. Do you lead prayer…

John 11:35: Jesus wept. THIS…. 2 words, yet 2 of the most powerful words spoken in the Bible. This verse has been heavy on my heart lately. Sometimes a verse will be placed upon you, and you aren’t sure why. I’m still trying to process this one. All I know is that when I pray,…
