Seek his face always - Life Without Limbs
JANUARY 2021

seek his face always
Prayer has been central to Life Without Limbs since
our founding. We believe in the mighty power of
prayer, which is why one of our ministry focus areas
is Prayer & Encouragement.

We all need prayer…and we all need encouragement!

An interesting thing about our walk with Jesus is
not only does God hear our prayers (sometimes He
says “no”), but through prayer we are strengthened
and encouraged! Through prayer, we are
emboldened to say…“YOUR will be done, Father,
not mine.” As we continue to seek God’s face, we
learn to trust Him and know Him more each day.
