Dear praying friends,
I rarely write a blog with more than a week of posts, but today I make an exception. I am praying and asking the Lord for His heart to finish out July and begin August because He has given me 2 big ministry assignments at the beginning of August that could interrupt the flow of this blog. I am writing “early” to avoid the interruption because I hear the Lord saying, “Press on!” Let’s finish July praying Show Us Your Glory, Lord, as we sing a new song! In the August 1st post later in this blog, I will add the new prayer prompt for August! Let’s pray on, friends! ~Gina
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them. ~Isaiah 42:10
