Hebrews 10:23 We may be tempted to waver, to doubt, and almost give up, but we are advised to "hold fast" to our confession of hope. This hope isn't built on what we can do for God, but what God has...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Ariala9203/630213“Thus therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified …” Matthew 6:9 Do you ever ask yourself, "What does God want from me?"
