Thought to Ponder

Prayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God’s sovereignty, along with His wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him,

prayer is the expression of trust.

- Jerry Bridges

"I can't BELIEVE I get paid for this!!!!" "Here class...just put all your gym shoes in this box next to my desk."

"I bet all the people in our administration really miss teaching!!" "I think the discipline around here is just a LITTLE too strict!!"
