Giving thanks changes things in the heavenlies. As we give God glory for who He is, and what He has done, it changes our hearts....but this piece is connected to obedience, love, and knowledge of truth because real peace requires total well-being.
Church family: “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him." (The Privilege of Prayer, E.G. White) Send your prayer requests and praises to Dina Horst at 402.420.5970. Thank you!
