Great Love

You have great love for me. You have saved me from death. (Psalm 86:13 NCV)

Today's meditation:

• Looking back, we have clear view of the great love of God sustaining us, especially in the dark moments when life itself seemed to drain away, but he was with us and that made all the difference.

Pray today:

• For any of our students who are in danger of quitting and giving up the opportunities before them, for them to sense the great love of God surrounding them, for them to fight discouragement and work hard to finish the academic year successfully.
• For the people and supporters of Emmanuel College as we complete the debt reduction plan this month, for all the pieces to fall into place over the next few days, for us to sense the great love of God holding us at every dip in the road, around every corner, all the way to the finish line.

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

“. . .they raised their voices together in prayer to God.” (Acts 4:24 NIV)
