Rise in Prayer

March 16, 2025 | Part 11

In this message, we learn that wise believers rise in prayer according to God’s will, God’s provision, and God’s deliverance for themselves and others.

Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?” It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.
1 Kings 3:9-10 (ESV)
