Today's meditation:
- God's faithfulness is not a story of always walking an easy path. In fact, it's more about following his lead through mine fields and pitfalls, which makes a story worth telling about a God worth praising.
Pray today:
- And praise and give thanks today for God's presence with us, for his leadership and guidance, for his faithfulness to listen and respond to our prayers.
- For the New Beginnings spiritual emphasis this week beginning today through Sunday, for our speaker, Lee Grady, to communicate the Word of the Lord to us, for spiritual development and growth in our students.
Day 18 of 31 days of intense prayer and fasting for Emmanuel College. The LIST below will continue to be REVISED (highlighted) in the final half of the month to reflect more specific needs and people to pray for. Please use it as a prayer guide. Be led by the Spirit.
