My Papa, Bishop J. R. Henderson, is known to have said this phrase: “When the Bible says all, that means there ain’t no more.”

What a truth to which to cling!

As we read God’s Word, when we come across all, we can know that there is nothing else to consider.

So, with this in mind, I pulled the following verses from the promises in my book, Fighting for Your Prodigal through Prayer. Read and cling to these verses, and keep your own list to review when your faith takes a hit.
