Welcome, October!
Let’s Pray:
SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we are filled with the Holy Spirit!
Dear praying friends,
Let’s keep those impacted by storms like Helene, wildfires and any kind of personal tragedy in our prayers. They need God’s comfort and peace during this time when many have lost so much. Pray especially for those who have lost someone that they love. And please pray for those responding with help to these painful places. This month we are getting to know more about the ministry of the Holy Spirit and we will continue to focus on what God’s Word tells us about our Comforter and Advocate. Aren’t you glad that Jesus did not leave us as orphans when he left this world? I am so delighted for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in my life every day. This month, let’s pray: SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we are filled with the Holy Spirit!
Pray on, Saints! ~Gina
