And we pray that the sweet communion and fellowship of our church can be felt by even a passerby, a stranger in our midst;the love of God in Christ Jesus that passes all understanding, ours to enjoy, to share, to possess forever and ever.Thank You, Master, for every good thing You give us… God’s Goodness in Our Suffering: A Prayer of W.
