Prayer Warriors

Father God,

I have been so blessed to be able to have experienced your comfort during my own grief and to have been able to share your comfort with others, through GriefShare and my church, as well as in other parts of my life. You have placed such a burden on my heart for the grief of others and for the grief ministry of my church, but I know that I have, at times, relied on my own strength more than I should, and I have not brought my thoughts about the grief ministry to you in prayer as much as I should.

I ask that you would help me to be more consistent in prayer. Please remind me often that you are here and available for me to call on for help and guidance and strength. You have recently been impressing on me that it is important to regularly come to you in prayer about this ministry, and I have a feeling that this is going to be another blessing in my life - to know you better through time spent with you.

I sense that you also want me to call on others to join with me in prayer for Cornerstone's grief ministry - that before focusing on asking for people to help work within Cornerstone's grief ministry, you want me to focus on asking for people to commit to praying for that ministry. So I have asked others to join with me, and I am asking you that you would raise up prayer warriors who would faithfully bring the needs of the GriefShare program and other areas of grief ministry to you in prayer. Please touch the hearts of those you want to be praying for this ministry - whether in the quiet of their own prayer times alone with you or together with others who also care about this ministry (either in this online prayer group or meeting together in person).

Father, I thank you that you care so much about your hurting children. Thank you for allowing me to work with you to bring comfort to the grieving. And thank you that you have touched the hearts of many to care about these needs.

Amen
