Today,
please pray for…
Retreat Attendees: Corrie, Ruth and Sherrill
Country: Kyrgyzstan
Create in each of these servants of Yours
a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within them. Restore
to them the joy of Your salvation and grant them a willing spirit to
sustain them (Psalm 51:10, 12).
Today is the last day of the
retreat (already!). May we yield to Your Spirit to allow You to do what
You delight to do in each of us.
There are women serving cross-culturally who are new to their fields or mid-way through their time; some are even at the end of many years overseas. In whatever state they find themselves in, Lord, we ask that they continue to be purified and walk in holiness. In the wear and tear of daily life, may they experience Your joy, and a steadfast, willing spirit to persevere in serving You. So much focus is on "doing" ministry, life, and relationships. Father, remind them that Your heart desires and invites them to intimacy with You, to rest within You, to be Abba’s child.
Just as You have adopted us into Your family, several of these women
have adopted little ones into their families. Lord, we know that as Your children we give You
much joy, and yet also heartache. Jesus, please give abundant love,
grace, forgiveness, perseverance and hope to these parents, along with
a large dose of humor. Be honored in each life. In Jesus'
name, Amen.
