Individual Growth
Father, in the name of Jesus, we in our prayer group desire that our prayers avail much. We are individuals who are [mutually dependent on one another], having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us. We, who with unveiled faces all reflect Your glory, are being transformed into Your likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from You, Who are the Spirit.
Father, we realize that You know what we have need of before we ask and that we are not all growing in the same manner or on the same time schedule, but we are growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We give each other space to grow, for we are becoming a patient people, bearing with one another and making allowances because we love one another. We acknowledge that we do not have dominion [over] each other, and we refuse to lord it over one another's faith, but we are fellow laborers [to promote] one another's joy, because it is by faith that we stand firm.
In Jesus' name, amen.

My Prayer
That I will have the strength to carry on, the patience to try again when things go wrong, the ability to see beauty where others see none. That I will have the hope of a new dream waiting to be dreamed, the chance to reach out and the wisdom to look forward to tommorrow.
--Donna Wayland
"He left us the Word...."
To Help Us Find Confidence:
John 14: 14,18,27
If ye shall ask any thing in
my name, I will do it.
I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.
Peace I leave with you, my peace
I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
I John 5: 14
And this is the confidence that
we have in him, that if we ask any
thing according to his will, he
heareth us:
HE GAVE US THESE PROMISES:
Have faith in the Master.
