Whatever is . . . Praise Him
“Whatever
is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever
is lovely and loveable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is
any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and
weigh and take account of these things.” ~ Phillipians 4:8
Praise Reports:
~ Praise
God for all that is true, worthy of reverence, honorable, seemly, lovely,
loveable, kind, winsome, gracious, of virtue and excellence!
~ For all
the volunteers who have stepped forward to organize and/or contribute towards
the rummage sale this week, trusting God’s blessings will pour forth in so many
ways as a result of responding to His requests.
~ For
restful and relaxing vacation times.
~ That He
is with us in times of transition.
Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for
ongoing healing for our students, staff, volunteers, supporters and families,
in whatever way is needed; that each of us are able to “Trust the Lord with all
our hearts, leaning not on our own understanding, but in all our ways
acknowledge Him, knowing that He will direct our path.” ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
~ For the
girls God desires to come to Agape House at the end of August this year to take
part in our program, that they will know His peace about coming here, and that
the parents will be willing to make the commitment necessary to help their
daughters at this difficult time in their lives.
~ For the
finances of Agape House as we continue to serve Him in this ministry.
~ For the
girls who are continuing with their studies this Summer, that they will see the
goal they are reaching for and the value of putting in the time today to reach
that goal.
~ Pray for
the girls who are in the TLH or are not connected to Agape House at this time in the Summer, that
they continue to turn to God for all they need. Also pray for the girls and
their families who are continuing with counseling, that they will see the fruit
of their efforts!
