We are thankful for each Builder who prays for, provides for and promotes the mission of Greenhouse.

During March, we invite you to pray especially for the students who are part of the rhetoric program (high school) at Greenhouse. We pray that they will love the Lord with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength. We pray that each cohort will grow in camaraderie as scholars, friends, and followers of Christ. We pray that they will encourage, accept, and bear with one another, while also spurring one another on to love and good deeds. We pray for healthy and fruitful relationships with their teachers. We pray that students will find the right balance and cadence for their studies and other pursuits in life. We pray for the seniors as they complete and present their thesis projects. We pray that they will finish well, encourage the younger students, and trust God with their future plans.

Many of us, like the senior class, are making plans. Let’s recall prayerfully a few of Solomon’s familiar proverbs as we do so.

Proverbs 3:5-6 and 16:3 (ESV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

In what areas of your life are you tempted to lean on your own understanding? What would it look like fully to trust in the Lord in those areas? Pray that He will help you identity and dismantle any obstacles which hinder committing your work to the Lord. May the Lord straighten your paths and establish your plans to the glory of His Name.
