Good morning!
Below, please find this weeks "Call to Prayer"
In just a couple of weeks, many of our young people will be starting school. Many changes will taking place within our families as summer draws to a close. Changes bring new challenges. Sometimes when we have challenges they feel like we're fighting a battle. Perhaps a Spiritual Battle?
As David fought the Philistine's (Giants) in his life, he knew that he could not do it without the strength of the Lord.
1 Samuel 17: 47 reminds us "...for the battle is the Lord's..."
We have this promise that no matter what challenges or battles we face, they all belong to the Lord. He will be there when we need Him the most.
I pray that you will continue to uplift those who are facing battles in areas of their perhaps with spiritual issues, health issues and relationships. We all need the prayer support of friends and family.
Please remember our new Officers in the division that have joined our Ohaha. As they begin their ministries they too will face challenges as they lead their corps and community ministries. Pray for them today!
May God richly bless you as you lift one another in daily prayer.
Blessings!
Major Shelley
