SATURDAY

So if the Son sets you free,

you will be free indeed.

John 8:3

Prayer Focus

Today, let’s focus our prayers on Leslie McKenzie as he makes adjustments to living in a wheelchair as he heals. Pray for his family as they learn to make these adjustments too. Thank God Les hit something during his fall that broke the fall so he didn’t land as hard as he would have otherwise. Thank God for the immediate care he received from his co-workers and others. Thanks for your prayers for him and the ramp that men have already built for him.

Pray he and his family learn how to move him and care for him so his healing can run smoothly and with no setbacks. Thank God for watching over Les and his family during the entire recovery process.
