What is the best weapon that we have? PRAYER When we get on our knees, it’s a place where God sees ( El Roi- the God who sees) our humbleness. Maybe what you have been praying for so long has yet to happen; maybe you are growing weary, but when all else fails, get on your knees! (If you can!) What is the difference?
