God Is In Control
Pray
God our Father there are times in our life that are scary because we feel we have lost control of the situation. We find ourselves in a place where we don’t have the answers and there are questions that we never even thought to ask. Today as we open your Word we ask that you might speak to us. Grant us your Spirit so as to apply this Word to our hearts and lives.
