Whether or not we think we need to pray, we do. The person who wants it the least, likely needs it the most." Prayer is our connecting point.

The old lie of the enemy that resulted in the original fall. I agree, though, that there is room for improvement in the teaching of apologetics, the reality of spiritual warfare, and in how to stand firm in faith.<br /><br />Praying for people in the news is also a good idea. I too have prayed for the people of Haiti, those in the path of hurricanes, etc. May God do what only He can do in these situations and bring people to Himself.Susan Barclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668380401591029520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-84430169576149733032021-09-05T12:30:56.003-07:002021-09-05T12:30:56.003-07:00Thank you, Tracy.

Thanks for encouraging us to pray for our wayward family members and for many other needs. Plus reminding us to saturate our prayers with praise and thanksgiving!Sandi Somershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097011585168805837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-64901854521678007202021-09-04T11:38:04.004-07:002021-09-04T11:38:04.004-07:00If I was Susan's husband, could I ever tell th...If I was Susan's husband, could I ever tell those kids a thing or three about proof that God exists. I have so many wonderful videos which show that, as one example, Bible prophecy is astonishingly accurate. Even the 300+ prophecies of Christ are statistically impossible without divine help.<br /><br />This is why Churches must have Bible studies and Sunday schools based on proving not only the existence of God but also about the vast plan of salvation. I'm not a parent but it's apparent to me that teens need logical answers to counter doubts.<br /><br />I also love your idea, Susan, of praying for strangers. I pray for folks in the news. For example, Haiti had a bad quake a while ago and Hurricane Ida struck the Gulf coast. I pray that God will make good come out of these tragedies and that will drive people to surrender to him.Bruce Atchison - authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16956436260379779297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-72484564312899046112021-09-04T09:59:55.593-07:002021-09-04T09:59:55.593-07:00Oh Susan!
