Prayer Burdens for December 5, 2023

1. That the saints would not lose heart but rather experience the renewing of their inner man day by day as they pass through various afflictions in their daily lives

2. Thanksgiving to the Lord for all the children in the church and prayer for all the parents, that they would have the wisdom and the grace to raise the children, and that the children would grow to be vessels “unto honor, sanctified, useful to the master” (2 Tim. 2:21)
