\"GCH_decaf\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted to take a moment today to say how thrilled I have been to meet some of the GCH:decaf girls that have been introduced this month, here on our blog! \u00a0God is doing some amazing things in the lives of these awesome women!<\/p>\n

I pray over all of the\u00a0girls in GCH:decaf, each day, and ask the Lord to bless them. \u00a0I also pray that He will guide them, and give them wisdom. \u00a0That He will protect them from the schemes of the enemy. \u00a0That He will keep them from temptation. \u00a0These young lives are so very important to Him, and to us.<\/p>\n

We’ve been introduced to some amazing young women over these last couple of weeks, and I just want to reach out today and pray over each one of them.<\/p>\n

Robin with her Soccer career. \u00a0Mary Ruth and her education. \u00a0Carlia and Trinicia and the love they have for each other as sisters. \u00a0Channa and her desire to make a difference in the lives of others. \u00a0Michaela and her continued walk with the Lord. \u00a0Diamond and her desire to hear God’s voice. \u00a0Amber and her continued relationship with Christ. \u00a0Zinni and her move to the USA soon! \u00a0Rebekkah and the continued wisdom God is giving her about dating. \u00a0Tristan and the ability to just be herself. \u00a0Miss Vicky and the amazing family God has given her!<\/p>\n

Lord, I lift up each one of these young ladies and I ask that You guide them, and direct their paths. \u00a0Protect them Lord, from the worldly temptations that could lead them astray. \u00a0Give them wisdom Lord, when dealing with life issues, and continue to keep them strong in their walk with You. \u00a0I ask Lord that You protect these girls, and lead them in the direction You want them to go. \u00a0Your Words in Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that You have plans for them, to give them hope and a future. \u00a0I pray for these plans to come to fruition in their lives, Lord. \u00a0Lord, Your way is perfect, and I pray that You will keep these girls on the path that You have designed for them.<\/p>\n

I pray Lord that You will give them strength to deny temptations of this world. \u00a0Help them to be strong when faced with peer pressure. \u00a0Help them to say no to things that You do not want for them, Lord. \u00a0Help them to recognize Satan’s\u00a0tricks before it’s too late.<\/p>\n

Give them peace and comfort when they need it, Lord. \u00a0Give them endurance and persistence, and help them remember Lord that they can do all things through YOU who strengthens them.<\/p>\n

Lord, we love these girls so very much, and we pray for nothing more than Your perfect will to be done in their lives. \u00a0In Your precious Name, AMEN.<\/p>\n

Girls, may God\u00a0bless you and keep you;\u00a0make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. \u00a0May He\u00a0lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. \u00a0We love you! \u00a0Thank you for sharing your lives with us!<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Romans 12:2<\/strong>\u00a0And be not conformed to this world: but\u00a0be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.<\/em><\/p>\n

Proverbs 9:9<\/strong>\u00a0Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning.<\/em><\/p>\n

Isaiah 43:4a<\/strong>\u00a0Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee.<\/em><\/p>\n

1 Peter 4:14<\/strong> If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God rests\u00a0upon you.<\/em>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

John 16:33<\/strong>\u00a0These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

1 Samuel 16:7<\/strong>\u00a0But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him:\u00a0for [the LORD sees] not as man sees; for man looks\u00a0on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks\u00a0on the heart.<\/em><\/p>\n

1 Timothy 4:8<\/strong>\u00a0For bodily exercise profits\u00a0little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.<\/em><\/p>\n

Psalm 139:14-16<\/strong> I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knows\u00a0right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Galatians 5:22-23<\/strong>\u00a0But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.<\/em><\/p>\n

1 John 2:15-16<\/strong> Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n
