of inestimable value beneath their feet. Many Christians are
living as spiritual paupers because they have failed to use
their greatest right - the right of prayer.

life's greatest prizes.
"Lord, when am I going to get out of this, - Lord, what am

One of the biggest blessings in a persons' life is helplessness.
When this is realized persons respond to Go ...
