Thursday

“My friend, I ask, ‘Who do you think you are to question God?

Does the clay have the right to ask the potter why he shaped it the way he did?’”

~Romans 9:20 (CEV)~

Today, I have a special request for prayer for a young lady who recently had surgery. Please pray for her and for her family.

Shirrill Charaway for Greensburg had pacemaker surgery yesterday. Please pray for his pain level and for complete healing with no complications.
