Never doubt God in the darkness what he has given us in the light. Francine Rivers

Dear God, I pray for the leaders of Your people. That leaders lead with selfless devotion. For leaders to be standard-bearers of the highest

This is okay” as my screentime rose to astronomical levels and I consumed more TikTok videos than I care to even admit.

SAFE SCHOOLS, FINANCIAL STABILITY, HEALTH

Dear Lord, open our hearts to hear you speak to us. I am struggling with so many things right now. But I know you are listening. Let's pray together for each other in health, safety, financial stability, and that schools can remain safe for all children. Please let mom and dad know how much I miss them and love them dearly!
