Quote for the week
God hears us when we call out to Him.
Worry does not empty tomorrow
of its sorrow; it empties today of
its strength. -Corrie ten Boom
As we move into 2016 anticipate what God will show you about His
character.
Pray each day for submission of our hopeless situations, guilt,
weaknesses and troubles to Christ in exchange for hope, forgiveness,
help and the peace of Christ in 2016.
OMC Leadership Team: Pray for wisdom as they lead toward
covenantal relationships and biblical wholeness with a focus on prayer.
Pray for eyes to see & ears to be attentive to others so we can bring
encouragement to those around us.
Health concerns & Recovery: Pray for our brothers and sisters that
they will trust God for healing, encouragement, strength and joy in the
situations that they find themselves going through.
