“May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.” (2 Peter 1:2 NLT) Grace is something we easily take for granted.  Often in Christian communities grace is only talked about in terms of the salvation Jesus bought for us on the cross.… Continue reading College Prayer Guide 1: {Grace}
