Apprentice 2 Jesus

Prayer

  • Favorite passages

    If there is any passage I could wear out in any physical Bible, it would be (and is, by the way I look in different translations and see I’ve already been there and marked it up incessantly) Ex. 33:13-23. Almost every day I have a prayer: Seek the favor of God. Moses leads the way… Read more
