Prayer

Father,
We as sisters are grounded in you. Your love unites us as one. We thank you and praise you!

I want to lift up each one of my sisters tonight. They are so precious to you, and though I have very little idea of their current struggles, hopes, and pains, I know you intimately hear the thoughts and cries of their hearts. Be faithful and answer!

For Beth, tonight, I ask extreme comfort to cover her. As she spends her last night in New York, speak words of affirmation, hope, and peace to her heart. I pray she and Bryon would draw near to you, seeking your strength to get them through these next few weeks. Fill them with joy; remind them that in your salvation, they have life more abundant! Pour safety over them as they embark on this journey cross-country. Place your hand on the car. May all its inner workings go smoothly. Cause the time to pass quickly as they dwell in your presence.

For Amy, I ask an increased measure of energy and a renewed sense of purpose as she's at Camp Victory. I pray that she is seeing your Spirit move in incredible ways in the children she's serving. I ask for healthy relationships with her fellow staff members. Give her ways to serve even them, and continue to renew her servant's heart. I ask for your wisdom to fill her concerning her friendlationship with Stephen. I ask that she would seek your discernment with a heart that has a pure desire to see your will be done in every aspect of her life! Thank you for growing her, shaping her, and creating her to be such a wonderful woman of God!

For Jane, I ask that you would be her One Desire. Give her the courage to kneel at the foot of the cross and offer up all her thoughts, plans, worries, hurts, fears, and joys. Speak wisdom and purpose into her heart. As she works at Keuka, may she be filled with the joy of serving you, not man! Give her opportunities to speak truth into the lives of those around her. Help her to rest in your arms, knowing that you are sovereign and in complete control.

For Jasmine, I ask continued strength as she battles for righteousness. Thank you for the victory you offer us on the cross, Jesus. Help her to daily lay down her earthly desires and pick up her cross and follow you. I pray courage for her as she deals with her family. Renew her compassion for them, that she could have your eyes to see them for the lost, hurting people they are. Help her to look past her past and see what you have for her in the present. Give her a good attitude for her work, and also allow her to speak truth to her bosses.

Your will be done in our lives, our friendships, our relationships, our plans. Remove all of us so that all that is left is YOU!

We love you and praise you, Abba.
Amen

What a weekend!

Congrats, Beth Irene! You're so blessed to be married to Bryon, and we're all blessed to have met him through you. We love you and will continue to pray for you as you walk through this life together. MUAH!!! (x4) Thanks for letting us share in your special days!

Daddy,

Lots is happening in our group. 2 have graduated. 1 is about to marry the love of her life. 5 of us are not ready for change! Praise be to you, the God who never changes, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever! As we walk into this new phase of our sistahood, we ask your blessings to fall upon each sista. We've each been given different tasks, different places, different gifts. Use us in incredible ways to further your kingdom, bless your people, and speak your truth in love!

There is nowhere we can flee from your spirit. Since You are what binds us together, we will never be shaken as a sistahood! No matter the miles, we're still sistas in Christ! Keep us faithful to you and faithful to each other in prayer, encouragement, and JOY!

We love you, Abba.
Your will be done!
Amen
