Problems Through Prayer
Fred Lowery


Right now you either have a problem, you are a problem or you live with a problem. So that is why we want to talk about how to solve your problems through prayer. And I just want to be realistic with you about life. Life is kind of like 10-80-10. 10% of life is absolutely horrible.
