The 4th “P” — Persistence
Finally, we are at the 4th “P” which stands for persistence. This 4th “P” applies to each of the other three. Praise God persistently. Pray to God with persistence. Persist in your patience. There are countless heroes of the Bible who had to persist through some horrible circumstances for what must have seemed to them [...]
