God Is Always With Us!

We’re one day closer to the weekend, so we’ve got plenty of reasons to praise! It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, so we had plenty to talk about!

We shared short testimonies, stories and reminders about trusting God in every circumstance. Even when adversity hits, we have to hold onto the fact that God alone is our hope and deliverer. When life feels like a puzzle we can’t solve, God is the one putting the pieces together.

We also shared Praise Reports and Prayer Requests for Global Week of Student Prayer. Jim Praises God for providing the help he and his wife needed to make their local food distribution efforts successful! We’re praying for families and individuals in need of help from these local pantries.

Follow NBA star and believer Jonathan Isaac for awesome content and words of encouragement: https://www.facebook.com/Jonathanisac01

For ‘Name That Tune’, our song was ‘I’m So Blessed’ by CAIN. Congratulations to Sarah from Mount Vernon, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!

Thanks for listening!
