have guided us throughout the month, and we are grateful for the lessons
we’ve learned and the encouragement we’ve received.

We pray that the truths we’ve discovered will stay with us and shape our
thoughts, words, and actions in the days ahead. May we continue to trust
in Your goodness, rely on Your strength, and rest in Your presence.

As we look to the new month ahead, we ask for Your continued guidance,
wisdom, and blessing. May we walk in obedience to Your will, and may we
bring glory and honour to Your name.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
