Please Give Me a Sign, Lord! - Avis Ward
Have you ever prayed for God to give you a sign about something that has perplexed and challenged you during the decision-making process? I have done that but I'm working on not doing it because of what John 10:27-28 KJV says, " My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I... ( added 2 years 219 days ago.)

Drive or Be Driven - Faith Walker
A friend and I were talking and the question arose, “Why is it when you are tired and driving you are able to stay awake? But when you are in the passenger seat your body succumbs to exhaustion.” My answer was when you are in the passenger seat you have no reason to fight the... ( added 2 years 281 days ago.)
