2 Corinthians 12:9 says “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” What wonderful news!

Relationships are hard work! Let's reflect on what R. Kent Hughes said again:

After Sunday's sermon, Eddie Needham was stirred up and wrote the following ideas for prayer. What are some practical ways we can devote ourselves to prayer?
