NOVEMBER 30 DAY PRAYER FOCUS
Prayer Calendar for November When things don’t go the way we think they should, it is all too easy to grumble and complain. But God, who knows the end from the beginning, always has our best interests in mind. He makes all things work together for our good (Romans 8:28). That is why, in all situations, in all seasons, He deserves our heartfelt gratitude, thanksgiving, and praise.
