Heavenly Father, thank you for the blessings of this 24/7 week of prayer. It's a privilege to pray the requests of our fellow ISI team members. So often I repeat their precious prayers, inserting the needs of our campus and our city. Please fill us with your Holy Spirit in order to make the most of the rest of this week and into the coming days as we welcome new and returning students to our campuses. Please keep us aware of Your Presence at all times.

Pray that this season of weakness and discouragement will be fruitful. I am weary and am praying about what to do/not to do next.

DISCERNMENT. More of Jesus.
