Happy New Year Prayer Warriors
Dear faithful Prayer Warriors,
As we come into a new year may the spirit encourage and remind us that our God walks faithfully with us through the storms of life. Many of those in our midst are hurting and walking through deep troubled waters. May we each commit ourselves to faithfully pray and look to the one who has transforming power.
Isaiah 43:18-19 "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.".
Praises
Our God walks with us faithfully in this New Year.
