30 Days of Prayer: Day 16


Today, please pray for…

Retreat Attendees: Caroline, Lynda, Leslie and Michelle

Country: Guatemala

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30).

Thank you that these women have chosen to take a break from their daily routines and come to the Retreat. We ask that they hear Your voice and learn from You; may they experience Your gentleness and truly find rest for their souls. Renew the joy of their salvation.

Lord, we want to lift up to You the women dealing with various illnesses. Chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, migraines, stomach issues and allergies are not uncommon on the field. Lead them to wise resources while in the States. Enable them to maintain a balance and joy in the midst of their struggle. May they sense Your presence in the discouraging, painful times. We ask that You give them comfort, grace, patience, supportive family and friends.

For those who have family/friends who are facing life threatening illnesses pray for wisdom in deciding when to stay or leave and possibly return for a funeral. It rarely is an easy decision. In Jesus' name, Amen.
