How Do We Pray?

It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,Continue reading “How Do We Pray?”
