What wonderful power and a joyful life we can experience when we grasp the wonder of the biblical truth that Jesus is alive and sits at the right hand of God at this very moment. Jesus is our Advocate in heaven and stands ready and able to pass on our petitions to God the Father. Come boldly and present your prayers, knowing that they will be heard. Remember patience is key when waiting for answers to prayer.
~ Tracy Anderson
