Prayer Points
Thank God for His patience with us. He has the capacity to accept delay because He sees everything. He knows the beginning from the end. That He doesn't give us what we deserve.
People will wait patiently on the Lord, through trials, sufferings, and hardships. Patiently enduring and waiting for the Lord to work on our behalf. To not fret about evil or evil people who seem to prosper because the Lord will take care of them.
For the one who needs to know the Lord, believe that God wants them to reach repentance will find Him, will confess their sins, believe He is Lord and become saved.
