Dear Praying Friends~ Days in this world feel heavy and difficult right now. That is why it is important that we keep our eyes on the Lord and that we continue in prayer. Let’s continue forward in this month’s theme: “SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE STEWARD YOUR GIFTS!” God has given us so many wonderful blessings and gifts and it is important to be good stewards over all. Let’s continue praying for encouragement for one another. So…
Let’s pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Prayer Pointer: Rather than set aside daily time for prayer, I pray constantly and spontaneously about everything I encounter on a daily basis. When someone shares something with me, I’ll often simply say, ‘let’s pray about this right now.’ – Thomas Kinkade
I encourage you to take time this weekend to rest and to gather with other believers in prayer and worship. Offer prayer to those who need it.
Thank you for praying with us as we continue in April 2024. Our next Bible/prayer prompts will be posted at midnight on Monday, April 8, 2024.
