P-R-A-Y

The longer I have walked with God the more I realize that God has the long-term plan figured out and as I walk with him daily I can trust Him to keep me on the right path. God is working in you and me, giving us the desire and the power to do what pleases him – to accomplish God’s plan and purpose in our lives because we want our lives to make a difference – we want live with purpose because that satisfies our souls.

Knowing what God has called us to do becomes clear when we use the acronym P-R-A-Y.
