B A GLOWSTICK! (& girl's prayer requests)

Tonight in Sunday worship we had some prayer time. One of the men in our church, Sean, asked the Lord to shake him up - shake up his faith to serve Him more. It reminded me of a glow stick. A glowstick that isn’t activated simply isn’t a glowstick.It’s just a stick. When first placed in the hand the stick is rigid and colorless. It must first be broken and then shaken for it to glows and fulfill its purpose.
Are you willing to be broken and shaken? Ask God to mold you and shake you. Father, mold me into your image so your light may shine before men! Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Sr High Girls Prayer Requests 9/14/08

Sunday we had a lesson on how the external influences in our lives can make an impression on out heart. us...impact who we are. We did a case study, if you will, of the lives of two girls. We reviewed how their childhood environment ( illnesses, finances, addictions) and their relationships (father, family) shaped their emotions as well as the choices in their lives. Not only does God our father absolutely cherish and adore His daughters; when we fail Him, he offers complete forgiveness as well. How amazing is that. Remeber the 3 points?
1. God is faithful and good DEUTERONOMY 31:8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
2. God cares for you. 1 peter 5:7 (Cast all your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you.) Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. New Liv Test. Lamentations 3:22-25 NIV 22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." 25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him
3. God has good plans for you. Jeremiah 29: 11.For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12.Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "
What happened in our lives can be used for our good and His glory.
