Trouble and Prayer...

 
 
As trouble draws near we need to turn more and more to God. In the past few weeks I have cried out His name out loud in the street, I needed His help that badly. And true to His Word He has seen me through the trouble. Now I'm giving Hime the praise and honor and gratitude He richly deserves. Thank You Dear Heavenly Father for all that You continue to do for me. Amen and Amen.
 
In His Holy Name,
 
Bill King
