When I Don't Know What to Pray // Andrew Peterson & Doug McKelvey

“It's only to the degree that we remember and cling to the person and promises of Jesus that it’s possible to be joyful when we don’t have the thing that we so long for, or to be patient in the midst of affliction, or to continue faithfully in prayer…all of those things only make sense in the context of a relationship and an expectation that this is not the end.” — Doug McKelvey
