The hardest prayer
Sometimes the only thing to pray is, “Lord, break me.” It is incredibly hard. It grates against our pride and ego and sense of “victorious living”, etc. But this may be the best prayer. And as a result, our lack of willingness to pray it is probably what holds back genuine outpouring of the Spirit. Too often the temptation is…

The people who know their God
I’ve been meditating on the thought of the Daniel Generation that started HERE. The foundation to all of it is we must know God.
