We Proclaim Your Victory
Lord, on a Monday morning, when we're dragging a bit, getting back to the work week, we proclaim your victory. Even though we may or may not feel particularly energetic, we proclaim your truth and salvation. Thank you for your favor over our lives.Prayer request:
Please pray for Jonathan's finances. My household recently came under attack where multiple things like my circuit breaker box gave out and had to be replaced. Amanda (my wife) and I recognized the attack and fought of the discouragement. Glory to God, we did not let the attack on our stuff steal our joy. Still, fixing these things will cause a strain on our finances. Please pray that God will provide (as he always does), and pray for Amanda and Jonathan's faith and trust that God is in control. Thank you!
