My original idea with this blog was to interact with the Valley of Vision prayers so I'll try to do more of that. Those dead Puritans have been my counselors for years with their gospel centered prayers of repentance and hope.
BHO has nothing on them when it comes to "the audacity of hope." It is Christians who have a real audacious hope - a living hope that has been laid up for us in heaven (1 Pet 1; Col 1).
