Thank you Bernard for reminding us why it is so important to pray. Not just pray for the sake of wishing God to do something, but to ...
Pray with Power, Faith, Purpose and Passion. Even if God knows already what's in our heart, but to commit to pray is also to come into the presence of God, acknowledging Him as Lord, humbling ourselves, and worshiping our maker. At the same time, thanksgiving, confession, petition and intercede for others.
Topic of study : "This is My Blood for your Sins"
This Saturday would be my turn to share, however to prepare everyone including myself for this topic. I humbly request that you take 5-15 minutes a day to read just this 1 chapter and take down notes along the way.
You may print the text version or simply read online. Bible verses are also given for easy reference. It is very convenient.
