TOMORROW MORNING’S MESSAGE FROM BRO. DARRYL (FBC, Kentwood)

December 18 – “The Agony of Dying”, Luke 23: 44-47

I hope you have a personal prayer list. It can be as simple as the back of an old envelope you keep in a special place or the last page of the current Sunday School book. It might be a simple notebook like I designate as my prayer journal. Do what works for you. Having a personal prayer list helps you focus your prayers. It also is private and meaningful to you.

Have a good day as you prepare for the Lord’s Day!

Remember the reason for the season.
