Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the Name of Jesus praising You.

We pray for Sheryl WuDunn. You know her needs Lord, and we lift them to You. We ask that her schedule this week would flow together and that her days would be relatively stress-free. We pray that she would have wonderful moments with her family and friends and that she would have time to spend resting and being refreshed before she travels.We thank you for giving her traveling mercies. We ask that You would keep her strong and protect her health.

We thank you for sending her here to speak her message to the Seattle area about the global condition of women and children. We ask that eyes and hearts would be opened to the plight of the victims of poverty and injustice. We ask that You would speak through her to bring words of hope about what can be done to help these victims.

We ask that we would be used by You to bless her while she is with us. Help us to be welcoming and kind as we interact with her. Use us to minister to her needs. We ask that You would show us how we can help her see something different in our lives that would bless her and bring her joy.

We praise You for the wonderful day that You have in store for her on the 18th. We pray that she will leave encouraged and hopeful.

In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
