The Content of A Challenging Prayer – D. A. Carson

Joyful Through Trials
This morning is a unique morning. It’s a unique morning for me, for a few reasons: I woke up early… like, really early. I don’t normally wake up until about 8:15 am on weekdays, and about 9:30 am on the weekends. I woke up today at about 4:00 am. WOW. I woke up feeling good… sadly, […]
