EZRA 9:6-7
“I prayed, “O my God, I am utterly ashamed; I blush to lift up my face to you. For our sins are piled higher than our heads, and our guilt has reached to the heavens. From the days of our ancestors until now, we have been steeped in sin. That is why we and ourContinue reading “EZRA 9:6-7 ”
WHEN SIN WON’T STOP
