Beyond Our Circles: The Impact of Praying for People You Don't Know

I believe it's imperative to make praying for people we don't know a regular practice in our lives. Therefore, I've made it a priority on our blog, while acknowledging that it's natural to focus on those closest to us, I want to encourage y'all to never forget about others as well. I'm excited to share a list of individuals who are seeking our prayers today, with the goal of making this a weekly tradition!
