The Bright Spot Report: The YWAP Hope Trust

Today is Day 2 of The YWAP Hope Trust - A Study In Giving and Receiving.

"I call to you, God, because I'm sure of an answer.
So—answer! bend your ear! listen sharp!
Paint grace-graffiti on the fences; take in your frightened children
who are running from the neighborhood bullies straight to you."
Psalm 17:6-7 The Message


A place of prayer and a pine needle Cross.

The most powerful gift that you can give anybody is the gift of prayer. Asking God to bless somebody is one of the most beautiful expressions of love that you can give or receive. I am going to pray right now for all of you who have found their way to this study on giving and receiving.

Thank You God for this opportunity to be with You. We are blessed already before we even ask for blessings. Thank you for the brokenness that gives us a greater capacity to love. Thank you for new seasons in our lives that let old habits fall away. Thank you for extravagantly abundant expressions of love that are new each and everyday. Please lift a burden for those who are heavy laden. Let them feel Your infinite love as you hold their hearts in your hands. Let them know that they won't sink any deeper. Lift their self esteem and teach them how to give value to other people the way you desire us to give. Bring healing Father God. Emotional healing for those whose hearts have been persecuted, crushed and destroyed. You know the depth of their pain. Lift them into a place where they can get a glimpse of your glory. Teach us O God how to be receivers as well as givers. Take our pride and let it burn away. Create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Renew our minds and reveal to us the work of our hands that you have already established. You knew us before we were formed in the womb. Show us what you know and reveal our purpose in your perfect will.Thank you God for the way you made us in your image and help us to reflect an intimate relationship with you that will reflect on those to whom we give. Teach us how to give O God. Amen.

It's a beautiful prayer in the neighborhood.

YWAP is at a crossroads and we need to charge into the future in a blaze of compassion that will help set young people on fire with the flames of the Holy Spirit. We now have a Prayer Team that is growing. I will ask you to pray and add to our Prayer List any items that God reveals to you. Please pass these prayer requests on to anybody that you know will pray for us.

Please pray for:

Healing - Helping children let go of old wounds.
Patience - It takes awhile for young people to grow and we cannot give up on them.
Planning - That we keep our focus on spreading the love of Christ.
Provision - We need financial resources to ensure adequate delivery of services.
Restoration - Bringing fractured families back together again.
Revelation - Guidance from the Holy Spirit regarding future entrepreneurial endeavors.

Thank you for your time. Go do something nice for somebody.
