Praise and Prayer Request
for the Week of 27th March-2nd April
Be thankful for all our all-powerful, all knowing, all sovereign
God place at our feet. Out thankfulness
keep us in close communion with our all loving God. Our thankfulness protect us from grumbling and
despising the sovereignty of our God. " Nor should we complain as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer." 1
Corinthians10:10. We should therefore
develop a thankful heart for all things God send our way, for this pleases Him. "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28-29)
