As we gather midweek, it’s a perfect time to pause and lift our hearts to God in prayer for our loved ones—our families and friends. Wednesday, often seen as the halfway point of the week, presents an opportunity to recharge our spiritual batteries and realign our focus on God’s will for those dearest to us. Prayer is a powerful tool that bridges the gap between our earthly concerns and God’s divine intervention. Today, I invite you to join me in praying for our family and friends, asking God to guide, protect, and bless them in every aspect of their lives.
