Welcome to our group for Christian women. We are here to help each other along as we travel life's pathway. Please feel free to suggest topics for Bible study, request prayers for yourself or others, offer tips, advice, recipes, poems or just share your life experiences.
We want to get to know each other and develop close friendships, so please introduce yourself to the group when you join. Tell us as much about yourself, your family, interests and hobbies as you feel comfortable sharing.

The Encourager's Prayer

O, glorious heavenly Father, thank You for this new day and the
opportunities You will give me to encourage someone in Your name.
Thank You for taking away my fears and giving me a spirit of power,
of love, and of a sound mind.
Thank You for encouraging me by reminding me of your unlimited power
and abiding presence.
Thank You for revealing Your encouragement and Yourself in Your word.

Help me to live courageously and relate effectively.
Renew my mind to encourage others by thinking of Your goodness and
holiness.
Teach me to see solutions and focus my eyes on the blessings in every
person and circumstance.
Remove complaining and blaming from my heart and lips. Give me words
of hope and healing.
Fill my hands with kindness.
Open my ears to listen to the needs and hurts, hopes and dreams of
others.

Help me to build someone today by nudging her closer to her dreams.
Use me today to show someone he is valuable, lovable, and capable.
Give me the patience and hope today to stick with someone no matter
how low she has fallen. Strengthen me to fight for someone in
prayer. Give me Your kindness to urge someone to face his fears
instead of running away.

Lord, I glorify YOU through my encouragement. Encourage me in Your
name, Amen.

(I adapted this from a prayer by Aubrey Johnson.)
