Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Pray for our Christian brothers and sisters who are going through suffering. Pray that they would conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel, being unified and courageous in the face of opposition. Pray that they would see their suffering as a privilege and it would strengthen their faith in Jesus. Pray for Christians in Palestine and in Ukraine.

2. Pray for God’s Spirit to work through his word to deepen our understanding, assurance and response to our salvation in Christ this term.

3. Ask God to strengthen Linda McKerrell's connections with her supporting churches.
