No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide a way of escape, that you may be able to endure.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13
Prayer
The main purpose of
prayer—whether traditional
Christian prayers, daily Bible
verses, spontaneous pleas for
help or expressions of praise
and thanksgiving—is to
connect us to a Higher Power,
to deepen our relationship
to our Lord, and to affirm our
hope and faith in God’s love.
Come pray with us.
