Join Prayer Sisters International

What is Prayer Sisters?

Prayer Sisters™ consists of small groups of women across the nation who are committed to support one another in prayer, friendship, and spiritual growth who meet regularly to pray.

Prayer Sisters™ nurture three essential needs of every woman.

Support
Prayer Sisters™ are comrades through life's challenges, both in prayer and practical ways.

Friendship
Loneliness disappears for a Prayer Sister; she instantly has friends to enrich her life. Whether with old friends or new, when women become Prayer Sisters they enter into a more meaningful level of friendship.

Spiritual Growth
In the safety of confidentiality and trust, Prayer Sisters™ help each other grow deeper in their faith and stronger in their inner being.

What's The Point of Prayer Sisters?

1. Encourage women to connect in commitment to support each other through prayer, friendship, and spiritual growth.
2. Assist churches and/or women's ministry directors launch a fresh ministry that helps women connect with each other and grow in their faith.
3. Provide each Prayer Sisters™ group with on-going support through helpful resources, prayer tools and Prayer Sisters™ events.

The first Prayer Sisters™ group began several years ago in Parker, Colorado, when a small group of friends began to meet regularly to pray. As mothers of teenagers, they originally met to pray for the growing concerns of their adolescents. Over the years, they widened the scope of their prayers and found themselves walking one another through a variety of personal challenges and family crises. Eventually they began calling each other "Prayer Sisters" because these friends had grown as close as sisters and knew they could count on one another for prayer.

These first Prayer Sisters™ began to recognize the powerful value of praying, laughing, and crying together in a safe place. Inspired to help other women share in the same enriching benefits, under the leadership of one of the Prayer Sisters, Kathy Groom, they established Prayer Sisters™ Intl — a nonprofit ministry designed to create and support other Prayer Sisters™ groups.

As many of you know, I'm passionate about prayer. What I love about this program is that it is easy to implement. All the groundwork is already in place. Our church, Living Water, is starting a group. If you live in the Denver Metro area and would like to participate, please contact me.

The Joy of the Lord

Just a small snapshot of what God did at CCWC -one of my favorite moments. Joy came raining down as Paula and several others performed this worship dance. See the joy of the Lord in her face? So beautiful.

Sexting - Parent Alert

What is Sexting?
Sexting is the act of sending lewd and pornographic photos via cell phone or posting online. While most commonly practiced by teens, 10-year-olds have been caught up in it due to the influence of older siblings. Most teens and tweens have given no thought to what happens the moment they hit SEND. Images have appeared on child pornography sites and have gone viral (every kids in school has a copy).

“I sent you mine, so you have to send me yours.”
Peer pressure is a big factor in sexting.

What Can I Do About It?
• Educate your children about the dangers of sexting
• Consider purchasing a phone without photo capabilities
• Talk to them about the spiritual ramifications of sexting
• Purchase an accountability device for their cell phone
• Educate yourself about upcoming technology
• Maintain an open line of communication on the topic
• Urge congress to update child protection laws

Incest Part 6 - The Key to Healing

Forgiveness is the key to healing; it will unlock the shackles of your past and set you free. If you want to truly be free, you must walk down the path of forgiveness. Forgive God, yourself, your perpetrator and those who failed to protect you. It is not something you are doing for THEM; you are doing it for YOU. Unforgiveness keeps you in perpetual bondage. You are tied to your perpetrator as long as you carry that anger, hatred, hurt and bitterness. The truth is – you will never be healed or delivered until you are ready to forgive.

The hot temper of a fool eventually kills him; the jealous anger of a simpleton does her in. Job 5:2 (MSG)

Don't insist on getting even; that's not for you to do. "I'll do the judging," says God. "I'll take care of it." Romans 12:19 (MSG)

Not feeling it? That’s OK. Forgive by faith. Say it aloud. “By faith I forgive _____________.” Continue to speak it aloud every time the enemy reminds you of the hurt and shame. As you practice confessing forgiveness with your mouth, your feelings will follow.

In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part. Matthew 6:14-15 (MSG)

Forgiveness can be a slow and painful process. Make a list of all those you need to forgive and slowly release them one by one. Even the small offenses such as, “I forgive Mary for making fun of my shoes in third grade.” Make a fresh start. Don’t hold onto any of it.

God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don't throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile; put a fresh wind in my sails! Psalm 51:10-12 (MSG)

Isn’t it time for a fresh start?

Prayer:
Father, what ______________ did to me was wrong. However, I don’t want to carry this anger any longer. While I do not feel forgiveness, I choose to be obedient to you. I choose to walk in freedom and not bondage. So, by faith, I forgive _______________. I do not base this on my feelings alone. I trust that as I am healed and restored, I will feel the forgiveness I am confessing with my mouth. I release all bitterness and anger. When the enemy reminds me of old hurts, I will confess aloud my forgiveness by faith. Help me not to wallow in negative thinking or play back records of old pain. I pray for your supernatural forgiveness to manifest itself in my life. In Jesus name, Amen.
