Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Next verse!With image
