"Midweek and A Prayer to Begin the Day" Pastor Cindy's Devotion 03/04/2020



Good morning! 

This morning when I was just waking up a text popped up on my phone, just a few words of a prayer from a friend to begin my day.

Lord, stir us to rise each morning expecting to encounter you and be caught up in your work, amen.

That’s it, today’s midweek.  Look around.  Look for the caught up, swept up, work of God coming your way.    And thank God for the adventure. 

Have a good day,
Pastor Cindy
