Praying God’s Word Wednesday #16

by 6 Comments

We’ve rolled around to Wednesday again, and I’m so glad to be able to pray God’s Word with you.

 

Truth is getting harder and harder to find in a world where opinions seem interchangeable with facts.  I pray daily, for my children especially, to be able to discern, know and obey truth.  God lead me to Psalm 51:6 today.

So today I pray:
