In 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 it reads, “pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
In this verse Paul encourages the Thessalonian believers to pray continually. Naturally, this does not mean to be in a state of prayer during every waking moment. Rather, we ought to be in a constantly "prayerful" state, and frequently speaking to God in actual, dedicated prayer.
Pray without ceasing! We are living in critical and scary times. Prayer is one of our primary weapons against spiritual warfare! As we continue to celebrate the blessings of our new expansion let us never lose sight of our war against Satan. We must intercede on behalf of Hope Academy and the world as a whole. Let us continue to pray for the city of Winder, GA and families devasted by the tragic school shooting.
Also, we will be starting the Kindergarten Parent Groups the first week in October, please view the post below for more information and sign ups. We pray that your scholar is thoroughly enjoying their learning from a God-centered perspective! Continued Blessings to You!
