I loved hearing this podcast and the detailed scripture examples to go to for praying about children, marriage, healing, needs, peace and wisdom. It was just what I was looking for and I shared it with some friends also.
Thank you for having this podcast and providing all the notes.
I believe I was truly meant to listen to this particular podcast and going over your notes. I’ve been praying but I always wonder if I’m praying correctly. I believe God was speaking to my heart on how to pray by listening to your podcast.
Thank you and God bless you.
God bless you.
