As I went through a pretty dry period in my prayer life I came to realize that I was making "spiritual consolations" the focus of prayer and not Jesus. We shouldn't make "spiritual consolations" our motive for prayer, we need to make Jesus the motive of our prayer. Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707083553671173428noreply@blogger.com
