The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this segment, Steve Gregg talks about the importance of praying to God and doing His will. He stresses that while it is okay to work towards achieving our needs and desires, praying for them is equally important. Addressing God as "Father" is appropriate as it signifies a personal relationship with Him. Gregg emphasizes the significance of praising God and not treating it as a means to fulfill hidden agendas. Finally, Gregg stresses the importance of praying for God's mercy and protection from temptation.
