Closing Prayer
“You go nowhere by accident.
Wherever you go, God is sending you there.
Wherever you are, God has put you there.
He has a purpose in your being there.
Christ, who indwells in you, has something He wants to do through you, wherever you are.
Believe this and go in His grace and love and power. “
