Priorities for Prayer

• Monday, January 23

  Whether it is snowing, like it has been across much of the USA, or whether it is raining hard, like our overseas staff experience regularly, God causes us to take a work break and notice that He is at work. May we stop and recognise God correcting us, caring for the land, and showing us His love through the weather (Job 37:13).
