Prayer Monday, May 16, 2011

I came very close to not doing a Prayer Monday post this week.  Not sure why exactly.  Actually that is not entirely true but I am not going to unburden myself here.  

I have found when I am tempted not to do something that glorifies God that I should push through and do it no matter how much I don't really want to.  It's usually the enemy trying to get me to not do it because something awesome will come of it.  So here I am pushing through.

PRAISES

1.  I got to have a date night with the hubby Saturday night.  Tuesday night will be our 3rd anniversary so we were celebrating a little early.

2. My sprained ankle is still hurting but it isn't swelling as much as it was so God is healing.

PRAYER REQUESTS
1.  I am asking that God will help me to continue to press into Him for a deeper relationship.  I am also praying that He help me through my issues of needing to be in control of everything

2.  I pray that He continues to highlight people for our members to invite so our small group will grow and touch more lives. 

3. I am praying for our Prayer Monday group.  Please help us to be able to pray passionately, earnestly and to not become overwhelmed by the requests.  Thank you Lord for these ladies!

PRAYER THIS WEEK

Father,

Rest on us right now.  Press into us and show us the words You want us to speak.  Father, I don't have a lot of words right now to express my needs.  Please read my heart because I know You know what is there.    Get rid of my indifferent attitude.    Holy Spirit I ask that You be with each lady as they are praying this week.  We all have our struggles big and small.   Comfort us in those struggles and give us the support we need.  Whether it  be in a friend or resting in You alone. Thank you Lord for the prayers You are going to answer this week.

AMEN
