A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!
Welcome, October!
Let’s Pray:
SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we are filled with the Holy Spirit!
Dear praying friends,
I started this week by spending an hour in prayer for my church and THE CHURCH! I prayed scripture and I worshiped our Great and Mighty God! I will share some of what I learned as I prayed in this week’s blog posts. And let’s keep on praying: SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we are filled with the Holy Spirit!
Pray on, Saints! ~Gina
