Hey Mercy Talk Fam! Before we finish out the crazy year that’s been, we wanted to take a few moments
to share how God has been encouraging us and how we’ve been praying for you! We know so many of
us have walked different roads in 2020 and it’s tempting to look ahead and expect the new year to bring
a complete change of circumstance. But how can we trust God right where we are, no matter what the
future may hold? Join us today for this very personal episode as we share from our hearts what the Lord
is teaching us.
After we have intentionally looked back and honored and thanked the Lord for His provision and presence in 2016, it is time to look ahead to the New Year with anticipation! Taking some time to intentionally seek the Lord in prayer regarding the year ahead positions us to move into 2017 with vision, focus and clarity!
