Daily blog for members of the Palm Valley Lutheran Church Purpose Driven Life small groups. Please post your comments and prayers as we walk closer to God over these six weeks.
Welcome to 40 Days of Purpose!
We will post and discuss throughout the week as we seek our purpose through 40 days of devotion and Bible Study. Please post your thoughts and prayer requests as we journey together. Our prayer is that God opens our hearts and minds to direct us.

Prayers
Creating a separate thread to keep all of our prayers requests together:
A prayer for the PVLC Purpose Driven Life Campaign: Merciful Father, we ask that your loving favor be upon our ministers and small group leaders. Anoint their lips to communicate a compelling vision as they guide us to discover the reason why we are here on earth. We thank you Father, that this message will awaken a life changing spiritual journey in all those that hear it. Stir up your Holy Spirit, and create in us a contagious passion to share the message of your amazing love with others. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
Oh Lord, you are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your name, guide me over the next 40 days from a self-focused life to a life where you are my focus, so that I may be worthy of your grace. I give you thanks and praise, that as a result of this purpose driven life campaign, my heart will grow more deeply in love with you. Father, I sing unto you a new song, and pray that my worship will rise as a sweet fragrance to you. Rejoice in the Lord always! I say rejoice, as we make known among the nations the great and wondrous things he has done.

A prayer for the leadership at PVLC as they go through the hiring process for an associate pastor and a youth director. That we walk along side of God when making decisions for hiring and that whatever God's will for PVLC is - that we unify as a church to work towards that with fervor.
Purpose Driven Life Week of October 17, 2010 Merciful Father, we thank and praise you for sending us a Savior, through whom we are made holy and blameless in your sight. As your representatives, help us to stand firm, bold, and courageous in our faith. Anoint our lips to share the good news of the gospel and fulfill your Great Commission. We pray that our Missions Fair event will encourage everyone to become involved in outreach to our community and the world. Keep our eyes fixed on Christ, that we may act justly, love with mercy, and walk humbly so that our faith may make a difference in the lives of others. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
