Sometimes the burdens of life become far too heavy to carry alone. That’s when it’s very good to ask someone to pray for you. Several years ago, Country singer Ricky Skaggs sang a beautiful song about this: “Somebody’s prayin, I can feel it Somebody’s prayin’ for me Mighty hands are guiding me To protect what …
“Christians are not better than non-Christians. Christians aren’t superior, but our Savior is.” (“A Praying Life” by Paul E. Miller) “He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy….” (Titus 3:5) Keith Madison SCORE International
Jesus said, “Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:4) “Both the child and the cynic walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
