Fault Line Prayer Card

~~This is completely optional and voluntary~~

At the end of the Bible Study last night, index cards were handed out with an envelope for a two part exercise in a) prayer and b) accountability.

At the top of the index card it says: My fault line is~

• If you took a card, please fill in what one of your fault lines is.  Feel free to be as vague or as detailed about this fault line as you want, just be sure that it is clear.

At the bottom of the index card is a short prayer: Help me learn the Truth.

• This prayer is in direct relation to your fault line to help you focus your prayer on the lie of the fault line, which is why it is so hard to triumph over that sin, and to open your heart and mind to the Lord's Truth regarding that sin.

A) Prayer- Please read this index card every day, and pray that prayer every day.

b) Accountability- Next Tuesday, if you choose to participate in this next part of the exercise, please put your first name in small print on the front of the envelope.  We will collect the index cards in the envelopes and the redistribute them among other participants.  The goal of this exercise is to pray over one another and to share each other's struggles.  Many of us share the same or similiar fault lines.  Others of us have already defeated those fault lines and are struggling with new ones.  But we will all have fresh eyes to each other's struggles and through prayer and study may be able to shed light on those struggles that have been hidden previously.

When you receive your sister's card, please include it in your prayer time and your Bible Study time.  Please remember to pray for this woman's fault line, keeping in mind that the circumstances surrounding her fault line are still between her and the Lord, and she needs your support and prayer to help her move forward.  If time allows, or you feel moved to do so, under the prayer on the card, please include any Scripture that you believe reveals Truths that will help this woman with her struggle.

At the end of "Having A Mary Spirit" we will bring back all the index cards to pray over, to discuss, and to share any continuing struggles for prayer, or triumphs for praise.  The cards will be collected and given to the owner.  Each woman will have a chance to look at her card, read whatever notes were added, and then if willing, the chance to share with the group about their own struggle.

(The person who receives and prays and shares Scripture on the cards will remain anonymous.  Any discussion on the index cards will only be by the individual on their own struggle so that no one can be inadvertantly hurt or feel as though they are being judged.)
