What a blessing to bow before our Father with like-minded mothers; our humble intention was to plead for our school and in exchange He blessed our hearts. If you have 15-30 minutes to stop by the prayer room at the elementary campus on any Thursday morning, we encourage you to join us. We visit for just a few minutes to share heartfelt praises and needs for our school body. Today, we prayed for all the parents who have recently experienced the "abandonment" of their older children to college. We acknowledged that God is in control and they are fine in His hands.
We also lifted up any and all health concerns of our WCS family and friends, in particular anyone facing medical procedures or seeking an eminent cure. God knows who is in need, so we are sure that although we only mention the names of those who have personally asked us to pray, all who are in need were covered by our intercession.
As mothers, we acknowledged the difficulty in letting our children "do hard things" or go through struggles. We always want to rescue them or just do it for them. So, we prayed that we would let any thing that comes through our Heavenly Father's filter for the edification of our children be allowed to strengthen their faith. We know there will come a time in their lives where we, as parents, will not be there to catch them when they fall. We need to let them face challenging circumstances now to prepare them to be godly men and women. Remember, we are not raising them to be good children, but to be great adults.
Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you next Thursday!
Many of us as friends of Weatherford Christian School pray for our children, our teachers, our staff, and our volunteers. We also want to lift up the ongoing projects of our school. In fact, we all realize there are probably many opportunities for prayer about which we, as individuals, know very little. Herein lies the purpose of this Prayer Corner blog.

First Day of School!
Welcome Back!! What a great way to start the new year; in our new prayer room. Many of the PTP members worked very hard over the summer to improve the elementary campus. One of the improvements is the addition of a wonderful prayer room in the white house. Please feel free to stop in and pray. Several of us met this morning to pray for continued unity within our school and for the faculty and staff. We gave a special "shout out" for our headmaster, Van Gravitt. We are certainly blessed to have a godly man lead our school.
We also prayed for our small group of prayer warriors to grow in number as this school year unfolds. We will meet every Thursday morning after school begins, around 8:15. There will be coffee and fixings. We will convene with prayer, mention school related prayer requests, and take them to the Lord. It is the goal of the Thursday morning prayer warriors to wrap up our time by 9:00 and to honor God with our prayer time. In other words, we will not give in to gossip; although sometimes we laugh at ourselves and share personal ups and downs.
Our student body was also on our hearts this morning as we lifted them up to our Savior. We are especially excited about the new families we have joining us this fall and asked for a warm welcome from all of us to all of them. If you can be the hands and feet of this request, we would love to know about it.
Lastly, we will be launching our new web site shortly and prayed for it to be extraordinary!
Have a great week and we all hope to see you next Thursday morning for a few minutes on our knees.
Seeking Him with you,
Danielle
