The Path of Peace

Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace. (Luke 1:78-79 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Darkness and shadows are all too common and never comfortable which is why we need to stay in the light of God's presence that dispels darkness and reveals the path of peace.

Pray today:

• For each part of the Emmanuel College debt reduction plan to be completed within the required timeline, for clear guidance from the Holy Spirit, for the favor of God to rest upon us, for God's will to be done in every decision and action by all the persons involved, for the path of peace to be found by all.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
