August 2020 Prayer & Praises

Without Jesus we have nothing. Without Jesus there is no life, no hope, no Savior, no future. What a privilege to know the Prince of Peace and to cry out His name at the throne of mercy for those who have not yet met Him, knowing He will listen and rescue. We are receiving mercy ourselves! We need Him more than ever; let that need pull us to our knees and fill us with His type of intercessory love. He is with us.
