Gratitude Lesson  #22
Large  group  starts at 7 pm and Small groups start at 8 pm
Principle 7:    Reserve a daily time with God for   self-examination, Bible reading and prayer in order to know God and His will  for  my life and to gain the power to follow His  will.
Step  11: We sought through prayer  and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for  knowledge of His will for us and power to carry that out.
“Let the word of Christ  dwell in you richly.” (Colossians 3:16)
