Meditation

Do you have brothers around you that pray with and for you about your struggles? Do you pray specifically for and with your brothers about their struggles? The christian life is not meant to be walked alone. Connect with faithful brothers and pray for one another. Experience the power of God through prayer in overcoming sin and receiving strength in suffering.
