Note from Gwen for January 2025
Happy
2025 all! It’s amazing to think that another year has begun. If you’re anything
like me, you’re joyfully anticipating all God has in store and also feeling a
little overwhelmed to turn the calendar and begin afresh. Whether the new year
feels promising, daunting, inconsequential, or anything in between, I pray you
are encouraged to remember that God is unchanging and faithful. He knows what
has gone before and what lies ahead. Even better, He is genuinely with you in
each step along the way.
Thank you for so faithfully pressing . . .

Thank
you for praying! Here are some specific requests for this month:
1.
Praise God for His faithfulness in 2024! It’s amazing to consider that the
numbers in the stats above represent real people who searched for truth online.
Pray for all who have come to any GQM sites and who will come to our sites.
Pray that our resources will accurately convey the truth of God’s Word and that
His Word will do its work in people’s lives. Pray that every individual’s
encounter with GQM will be used of God for their spiritual growth and for His
glory. 
“Trust
in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs
3:5–6).
“Everyone
who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is
like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the
foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that
house and could not shake it, because it had been well built”
