DAY 20 | WALKING IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
We pray for attendees: Abigail, Dana, Kathy, Lori, Olivia, Susan, and Valisha

Dear Heavenly Father,

The fruit of living life according to your own way is a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage, frenzied and joyless grab for happiness, paranoid loneliness, cutthroat competition, all consuming yet never satisfied wants, a brutal temper, an impotence to love or be loved, divided homes, divided lives, small-minded pursuits, the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival, uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions, and ugly parodies of community.
 
Lord Jesus, we so pray against these things characterizing these ladies! We pray, in the power of Jesus’ name, that these ladies will choose more intentionally to be led by the Spirit on a daily basis so they will grow in their love for others, exuberance about life, and serenity. May they develop a willingness to stick to things, a sense of compassion from the heart, involvement in loyal commitments, a peace in not needing to force their way in life, and the ability to marshal and direct their energies wisely." (Gal. 5:19-23)

We thank you, Lord, that the minuscule evangelical witness is growing in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Evangelicals have gained credibility as the only ones to bridge the gulf between ethnic groups. We pray for the few believers and their witness in this land that all too recently experienced a bitter war. We pray for those involved in aid, rehabilitation, outreach, and church-planting ministries to fully identify with the people and that through them a harvest may be won. We ask for effective networking to occur among the expatriates. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
