Thanking God for Precious People
I reached for the page from the printer, flipping to the back side to determine the length of the prayer list. I was always amazed at the reach our prayer requests had. Not only over multiple states, but countries. I am part of our church’s prayer team. I have been praying weekly with these ladies…

When faced with a bitter soul, I realize I need to choose between hanging on to hurt and letting God mold my heart toward love.
