Kitty O'Shea's Prayer Group - January 22, 2007

Five regulars gathered at Kitty’s to pray today.

After some catchup sharing, S encouraged us with his recent realization that all, even the most hardened, have the propensity to believe, and do in fact believe in something—they just choose to ignore the subject of belief which is trustworthy and true.

As we went to prayer, we asked that we would ourselves exercise our ‘muscles’ of belief and faith, even when we could not see things happening or changing, for example in the longed for revival in Boston. We asked that our ‘dry bones’ would live again.

We also prayed for one another in various needs and circumstances which we had shared at the beginning:

  • K—for his team as they meet in Orlando this week
  • For the upcoming Africa retreat prior to the National Prayer breakfast
  • S —on his upcoming holiday to Costa Rica;
  • D—for ongoing wisdom about adopting a third child, even though their decision has been postponed for now, and for wisdom as he considers how to expand his practice/company;
  • T—for his work search, including recent promising discussions with Dick’s Carpenters’ Trust, for which we also prayed.

We also remembered to pray for and bless Kitty O Sheas, and held out the prospect that it might one day be filled with pray-ers.
