Prayers For A New Month: The turning of a calendar page represents more than just changing dates it symbolizes fresh opportunities, new beginnings, and the chance to realign our hearts with God’s purpose.

It was a reminder that each month is a divine invitation to grow deeper in faith, seek wisdom, and embrace the blessings God has in store.
