Dear Prayer Partners,
Learn from the past, prepare for the future. The beginning of the year is a time for reflection on the past and planning for the new year. We gather knowledge as we reflect. Wisdom is the correct use of knowledge. So as we plan, we ask God for wisdom. We'll pray the same for you. We are encouraged to know that you are lifting up our requests as we begin 2025.
