PRAY, PEACE WILL FOLLOW

Scripture: Philippians 4:6–7

Bottom Line: When we choose to pray, God’s peace follows. Life doesn’t slow down when students feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. Closer is a series designed to help students discover what it means to turn to God first in prayer especially in difficult moments instead of carrying life’s burdens alone.

Our prayer is that each student would learn to run toward God, experiencing His peace, presence, and guidance right in the middle of their circumstances.
