Wipiwomen is...
Let’s get right to the purpose of Wipiwomen. We desire to support and encourage one another through prayer, friendship, scripture,and fellowship.We trust God our Savior is listening and paying attention to our prayers.
- "Cast and wait"
- Psalm 130:2 Hear my cry, O lord, pay attention to my prayer.
I came across this scripture when I was about ready to give up praying for a certain ongoing problem. I was pretty impressed with the direction it seemed to be headed in. I want the God of all creation to hear my cry! Then I read verse 5 and 6...which the Lord BOLDLY highlighted for my good pleasure....
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits and in His word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchman wait for the morning,(and in case you didn't catch that, He repeats it) more than watchman wait for the morning.
The message for me was twofold. The first was a reminder to put my hope in Him. That didn't scare me off until He used this scripture to convict me that I was hoping and waiting for the situation to be resolved MORE than I was putting my hope in Him and His word. I was more like the watchman waiting for his shift to be over than a woman of prayer waiting on the Lord and resting in the HOPE I have in Him. We serve a jealous God and He wants our whole trusting heart, not our half-hearted pleas and groaning.
Although it isn't easy when the Lord reminds us of these things, we can draw comfort that He does indeed hear our prayers. He certainly paid attention to my cries and re-focused my prayer! He will do the same for you!
- Wipiwomen is a spin-off, if you will, of a local” Moms in Touch International” (MITI) group. I realized the need to use the internet to keep women connected in fellowship and prayer due to the busyness of life.
I have been involved in the MITI prayer support group for over 10 years. Our group had experienced the mighty power of God and received His supernatural peace in the midst of very trying times. Unfortunately the group found it very difficult to meet for various reasons. Fortunately, in today's world we have the internet (which my husband still believes is just a fad....) As stated earlier,one purpose of the WIPI prayer support group is to provide an opportunity for women to pray and share with one another. Public prayer requests can be posted on our Facebook page. You may message me with personal prayer requests at Wipiwomen@aol.com. I will discreetly pass them on privately to members of the group. As an encouragement to you, we have personally witnessed God's answers to prayer concerning life-threatening medical concerns, prodigal children, safety concerns, false accusations, wisdom in life decisions, protection for our families and much more. We have sensed God's comforting presence in life situations such as untimely death of loved ones and on-going difficulties. We believe God ministers to us through His word and His followers. I am excited to see what God has in store for those who seek Him. His love for each one of us is immeasurable.....1Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you” There is no request too big or too small that He does not hear. He answers with a "yes" or a "no" or a "wait".....He answers when we pray.
