Please pray that:

* we will focus on our spiritual preparedness in the midst of busy schedules;

* we will focus on the Lord while being distracted by others; and

* we will focus on souls while activities keep us physically busy.

Praise the faithful Lord who never fails to hold our hands in our daily lives! - Jeffrey
