“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22 (ESV)
God calls us to speak to Him through prayer, providing a foundation for a closer relationship with our creator. Every Thursday I will post world and/or national events that need prayer. By praying for others around us, not only do we acknowledge their need, but also acknowledge our need for Christ to come into our lives.
Continue prayer for the Presidential election.

Current research suggests that strokes are becoming more common at younger ages. Rises in diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol may be the culprits.
