Prayer - Friday, July 22, 2011

Focus Topic: Refreshing

Focus Scripture: Proverbs 11:25 / Philemon 1:7

Focus Team Members: Brenna Smith, Sofia Vega, Christine Ventrella

Today, the team will travel to the beach. As their day off after a week of intense ministry, this will be their time to relax, enjoy the black sand beach and sip cool fruit drinks. We serve a God who understands the value of rest and replenishment. Genesis 1 tells us that He rested after He created the world. Our team has worked hard this week. Long days physically and spiritually draining times of ministry have left them needing to enjoy some fun in the sun! They have refreshed others; now, it’s their turn to be refreshed.

Jesus, we can only praise and worship You for what You have accomplished through this team over the last few days! The souls saved and hearts touched are because of Your Holy Spirit working in people’s lives. All 26 members of our team have labored, danced, sang, prayed, handed out bags of food, and anything else that was asked of them - just so others could be refreshed with the good news of the Gospel. So, renew their strength today. Let them enjoy the water slide, the beach, and the hammocks in the shade. And, in the midst of it all, stir their hearts to a renewed wonder and awe for the great God they serve. Be with Brenna, Sofia, and Christine today. Touch their physical bodies; strengthen them in You. We trust You, Lord! In Your Name we pray, Amen!
