How Can I Pray for the Girl of Worth Conference?


Prayer for this conference is essential, crucial, critical---imperative! Prayer is the foundation for everything.

I'm not really sure why some people hang prayer on the discount rack of life, like it doesn't really matter--like it doesn't do any good.

Prayer works! Prayer is powerful! Prayer can change things and circumstances, and most of all, prayer has the power to change people.

How can you pray for this conference?

First, pray for yourself. Pray that God will do a work in your heart. Pray that He will show you anything that is standing in the way of a close, tight relationship with him. Pray, "Lord, purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow" (Psalm 51:7). Ask God to help you understand how much He loves you.

Next, pray for the other girls who are coming to this conference. You never know what is going on in someone else's life, what another person may be going through, or what kind of life she lives at home. Girls may be coming with some deep needs, and God can meet those needs! Pray, "Lord, may the girls coming to this conference receive everything You have for them in full. You are faithful to supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory" (Philippians 4:18, 19).

Pray for the conference team. Please pray that God would pour out His Holy Spirit on all of us in the weeks ahead. Pray that I'll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, making known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel (Ephesians 6:19). Pray for Danya and Misty to "exult in glory and sing for joy with the high praises of God in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hands" (Psalm 149: 5-6). Pray for the conference coordinators, Melody and Julia, as they tend to last minute details and all the administrating of this conference. Ask God to "renew their strength and increase their power" (Isaiah 40), that they would "run and not get tired."

Finally, pray for more people to join us in prayer as we pray for the Girl of Worth Conference! Remember: "You do not have because you do not ask" (James 4:2c). Let's ask!
