Let’s PRAY!
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13
Jesus in You we come with thanksgiving that You came and changed everything for us to enter into the gates of Heaven. We treasure Your Word preserved for us to know You LORD and worship You. In Your sovereignty, You know humanity needs Hope and You embody it. We receive the joy and peace You give by believing in You, knowing and obeying You as You lead us ever closer into eternity. Help us grow our trust in You above any other source. To Your glory. AMEN
