V2-40 Abandoned by God
Walking Talking Bible Project
What could cause God to not hear our prayers? What can cause a nation or people to be abandoned by God? How might “the fruit of [our] own schemes” result in disaster? Why did God tell His prophet to not pray for the people? These are just some of the questions to consider in this week’s edition of the Walking Talking Bible Project.
