LORD
Thanks for dinner last nite with myles' family. I'm glad it went smoothly. Thanks for being with us in our daily lives, LORD.

Today I'm praying for Zella's connect group: Alex, Cat, Jen, Claire. I know Jen's not going as frequently with all her commitments. Please help her in everyday life, LORD, and in her relationship with Chris. Help her to draw near to you so you can draw near to her. She has a great heart LORD and I thank you for her commitment to coming to church so far from her home. Please help her to make wise choices about her future.

I pray for Cat LORD who is very involved in church activities this year. I know she is helping out with the women's retreat and youth group. I think she is another person who needs help with her daily life - with her family and personal relationships. Cat needs your guidance LORD, you spirit of discernment, so she can make right choices for her future too.

I have prayed for Alex and Claire so these prayers are still the same, that they will know you more as their personal Saviour and as their first love. That they will grow in confidence and become the awesome women that you want them to be. That you would bless their relationships and help them to make wise choices.

For the group as a whole LORD, I pray that they grow closer to you and each other. That the group would meet their needs and help them to learn more about who you really are and the truth about you. So they can start to realise who they are in you. Mostly to know that you want them to enjoy their lives and your plans are to prosper them not to harm them, but to give them hope and a future.

I want them to experience the joy of having their God love them and care for them right now as they are. To know that the struggle is not to become perfect and obey lots of rules of christianity. But to experience an incredible gift given to them freely....so they can reach their full potential and discover their individual purposes which will set their hearts on fire and be more amazing then anything they could ever hope for or imagine!

People lead dissatisfied lives because they haven't discovered their purpose, and try to find happiness in other purposes, but always miss the mark. Until we are living the life you have planned for us, we will always be dissatisfied. The girls need your spirit LORD, to guide them and renew their minds so they can see life with you is not a burden but an awesome journey with the love of their lives.

in your precious name Lord.
