Welcome to the daily audio Bible prayer and encouragement for the week ending

December 10th, 2022.

with open hands, with hearts wide open to your work in our lives as we gather

together and hear each other's voices. We ask what we always ask come

Lord God that they would be released from any effects the abuse has on them as they
