A prayer from Matthew 19:26 for an outpouring of God’s love, truth and grace: Lord, it feels like these past three years have seen such an increase of enemy activity.

What Made You Give In?

A few days ago, I fell asleep while writing at this Prayer Wall and dreamed that a woman who long had resisted temptation gave up and gave in … all the way. It didn’t happen overnight.
