Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. What we say matters to God. He wants us to talk to Him and in so doing we can listen to what He may have to say to us. In that context, I would like to share the below, What does the Bible Say about Prayer? Have a blessed day today and always.
