Jesus and Prayer

In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Matthew 6:7 Prayer has fallen out of popularity in our modern worldviews. Even so, some still consider there to be a God above. We will adjust ourselves to Him. We will seek communication... Continue Reading →
