PRAYER-O-RAMA 2017 continues here on GUWG where for the next week we’ll be praying through some of the most inspiring sections of Scripture together.

To review …
Last week, we kicked things off with our official Bible Quiz-o-rama to help us assess our Bible literacy.

This week, we took a deeeeep dive into what the Bible says about the Bible and then what Jesus says about the Bible.
Today, we end with a call to action. Here it is in one little word:

Last week, we kicked things off with our official Bible Quiz-o-rama to help assess our Bible literacy. Since then, we’ve been going through a slew of ways to get more Bibleishness into our lives.
