Dear God, We are so grateful for this faithful, strong women’s group and this Bible study which is such a wonderful blessing to our lives. It gives us a chance to share with women of faith and learn from one another as we study God’s holy word. As we end our study please help us to remember what we have learned. We pray that we can have a positive influence for good in the world and spread the good news of Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus name, Amen.
