James 1:5 says, “…if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” In prayer we express our dependency upon God, therefore on this morning, let us together ask God to be generous in giving us wisdom as a church for the days ahead.
