Deep Waters: Life's 31-Day Devotional

By Tommy Gray III

God has called you and I to have such a connection, such a relationship with Him, that when we pray, heaven will interrupt what is going on here on earth and cause a divine shift. 

Who can cause the wind to run out of breath? Who can cause the rain to run out of water? Who can cause an earthquake to lose its tremble?
