God is the one who made us, who loves us and keeps us in existence. God is the one who can bring the good work He began in us to completion. It is best if we strive to follow the Lord's way. As we learn more and more, we find that this is very much common sense. We reach out to help whenever we see an opportunity to do so. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may follow the Lord's way and respond to the needs of others. I pray that I may trust that the Lord who began the good work in me, will bring it to completion. .=: W E P R A Y :=.
