Welcome, September!
Let’s Pray:
Show Us Your Glory, Lord as We Look to You in Hope!
Dear praying friends, I know that the world that we are living in can be very discouraging sometimes. Especially in this time of political unrest, it is easy to fall into hopelessness. I encourage you to keep on praying. We were reminded on our recent prayer journey to San Diego that we are on a Battleship, not a Cruise Ship. But we must remember that we are praying from a position of VICTORY. Don’t give up! And… let’s keep praying this month: Show Us Your Glory, Lord as We Look to You in Hope!
Pray on, Saints! ~Gina
Are You resting in the Lord? He invites us to spend time with Him. Listen to Prayer Cast #2: Come to Me. Special Guest: Lindsay Moore
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
Monday, September 23, 2024: Proverbs 23:18
Prayer Pointer: Seeking God “with all your heart” isn’t a call to religious perfection. It’s an invitation to bring your authentic self to each moment. Your doubts? Bring them. Your joy? He delights in it. Your mess? That’s where His grace shines brightest. God is as present in your tears as He is in your laughter, in your questions as much as in your certainties.–Our Daily Verse
