FRIDAY

The fear of man bringeth a snare:

but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord 

shall be safe.

Proverbs 29:25

Prayer Focus for Today

Today, let’s pray for all who teach (ex. Sunday School) in our churches. May each one study and be prepared in advance so they can present God’s Word with understanding so that class members will know more than they did when they came to class that Sunday.
