PLEASE PRAY for the wisdom of world leaders as they strive for peace. We are all guilty of putting our own ambitions and pride before the needs of others from time to time. Be with those in power to help them to discern what actions progress good for the many, not the few.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – John 3. 1-27
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
