I trust you will be blessed in this season of reflection. I also trust the devotional book you have received will aid you in deepening your relationship with Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these troubled times please pray for peace, and an end to the Russian incursion into Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue to look for the places where God is active, and where God may be calling you to Kingdom work.
