Dear Prayer Partners,
Trees become strong by withstanding winds that bend them. We become people of godly character by trials that shape us. Often our requests for your prayers mean godliness through testing. With you, we want to be servants who are shaped by God's good, acceptable and perfect will.
Thanks for lifting up our requests throughout November.
