“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” — Psalm 91:14-15 (NIV 1984)

The Lord Bless you and keep you! The Lord let His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace! And may you all have a blessed, healthy and Happy New Year.

Priorities for Prayer

• Friday, January 3
  As we begin this new year, ask the Lord to continue to call people to serve Him in Christian missions.
