I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Excerpt:
Of course, this is not discounting the fact that there are very real things we must do and very difficult problems we must solve. We have been given the Spirit of Christ to gird us and guide us as we go! Nowhere in Scripture do we read “Pray only.” Right?
