I John 5:14-15
(Read I John 5:14-15)
Let's go to the Lord in prayer for a moment. Father in heaven, I pray that you'd come and make us aware, Lord, of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

We can go to the throne of grace not as a trembling servant coming before some cruel dictator, but we can come to the place in our lives where we come to God with the heart of a child who comes to a loving father, knowing that that father w ...
