TODAY’S PRAYER POINTS BY PASTOR MIKE PRAH
Begin with praising the name of the Lord. God instructs Him with thanksgiving and praise.
Today’s prayer is based on 1 Peter 2:23-25.
“When Christ suffered, He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. 24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By His wounds you are healed. 25 Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.” 1 Peter 2:23-25 (NLT)
