I’m preparing a few presentations for the local Prayer Workshop this Saturday. I’ll send those notes either here at Hope Remains or through the Forsythe Sermons substack. Anyway, I found this excerpt and though it is not going to be part of my presentations, I liked it, so decided to share it here. I always hope to encourage prayer both for myself and all disciples of Jesus. These are not mine - they come from Alvin Vandergriend’s wonderful book, Love To Pray. Each one can be a subject for your prayer time with the Lord.
