“Life is too valuable, too full of solemn, sacred responsibilities, to be wasted in pleasing self.” Ellen G. White
Prayer: God, we are not fulfilling our roles as students nor witnessing to others to teach them of Your love. We ask for forgiveness. As we study, anoint us with the Holy Spirit and give us wisdom and discernment of Your truth. In Jesus’ Worthy name, we pray. Amen.
