PRAYER FOCUS TODAY

Today, we need to thank God for sparing us from the potentially disastrous weather that came through last night. It could have been so much worse for us individually and as a community. Pray for those who were not so fortunate.

We also need to pray for others who had damage to their homes and communities. Then we need to “Put feet to our prayers”. That means we need to help others though Louisiana Baptist Disaster Relief and other proven organizations that use their funds to help those in need. It also means you can use the skills you learned through Louisiana Baptist
