Christianity Quote by Scotty Smith
““This morning I’m bringing three current expressions of this very scenario before your throne of grace. My heart’s heavy, but not as heavy as it would be if I didn’t believe you to be the Prince of Peace; if I didn’t believe in the power of the gospel; if I didn’t believe that your name is Redeemer and Restorer.

Lord Jesus, may seeking first your kingdom and your righteousness far outweigh any other seeking—seeking to win, seeking to be right, seeking to avoid pain, seeking to get our own way. It’s your glory and story that matter the most, Jesus, not ours.””
