Scripture Memory
Pray for the Church
Praise God for His faithfulness to hear and answer our prayers and to help us in our times of need. Ask Him to grant us strength to resist the temptation to sin and to lead us to repentance when we fall to that temptation. Pray for Him to help us all keep our eyes focused on Christ as we obediently follow after Him.
