Prayer Journey — Expectant

Can I pray with expectation dear Lord that you can do what seems impossible? I look upon so many situations and do not see any way possible for things to change. Yet you are a God of the impossible.

Prayer Journey — Who Am I?

I am not self made, I am God made. All that I am, the whole of who I am right now, is because of God’s hand. Every event that has occurred in my life is because you allowed it to happen. It has all shaped me — molded me into who I am right now […]
