Matthew 10:34-42 {Prayer} Charlie Brown from the Peanuts cartoon can never catch a break. He is the stereotypical American loser. Whenever he tries to kick the football that Lucy is holding, just as he is about to kick it, she pulls it away at the last second. Charlie Brown misses it and goes…

John 17:1-11 {Prayer} Scene 3 of Act 1 of one of William Shakespeare’s most popular, well-known plays in the world is iconic. In Scene 3 of Act 1, Hamlet says, “To be, or not to be? That is the question—Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous…
