God Bless You! Very resourcedful. Thank you for your efforts.

Please know that your work has been noticed in heaven. I am ever grateful as I was praying that Yeshua makes me an effective temple of prayers on earth has He desires from heaven. His will, His Purpose for others and myself. I was looking to see if a believer had prepared a listing of all the prayers/petitions in the bible. Here I am so ever grateful that you also made available in a format so we can print. Meditate and put in practice what Holy Spirit leads us to pray/petitions from a thankful heart. Again, thank you so much. Blessings to you and your loved ones.

Thank you for your encouragement and taking the time to comment. God bless.
