PRAYER FOCUS for TODAY

Let’s thank God for the wonderful Christmas gatherings in homes and churches. Now, let’s begin to think about how we want to begin the new year. It seems to me the same locations, homes and churches, will help us to best begin 2023.

End 2022 with this thought:

“Be still, and know that I am God;” Psalms 46:10
