You can bash Citgo all you want.. I do!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I used to pray over my gas when I was in college...
I would believe that God would make my car go further on the gas I just put in it...
And He would...
I would go for many miles long AFTER the gas gauge was on EMPTY...
other people would hear me pray and ask if that worked...
I said it works for me...
I made believers out of a lot of people...
Jehovah-jirah..my provider..Jehovah will see to it..
Jehovah-jirah...my provider.
Of all the Names of God, I have always liked this one.
I do too
:)
