Verse of the Day: 2 Corinthians chapter 1:3-4: Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God


Prayer

Pray that the Lord would show each ministry leader and each ministry our unique role in being God’s hand and feet, spreading comfort, and being able to come alongside and encourage local ministries. 
Pray for all these ministry leaders who are exhausted by all that we're going through but need to be strong. Pray that God will comfort them so they can comfort others.
