Getting students to participate in a small group is like...

trying to catch the wind. No really, for me, it is. Right now we have about six students coming to our freshmen small group in Mark Twain. I feel really sad about this. It seems that people aren't that interested in it. I assume that it's because I haven't done enough to invite people or that I'm not compelling enough. I want to believe that it's not about me, but about what the Lord is doing. But then I hear that voice in my head telling me that I need to be doing more. Right now it's hard to discern if that's the Spirit or not. I really, really desire to see God use this small group to bring many, many students to faith in Christ. Father, I want to commit to giving you this small group again. I don't want to worry or stress about how many people are in it or that I'm not doing enough. God, I want you to make this group into something that would bring you the most glory. I ask that you would equip me with the knowledge, skills, and wisdom to lead well. I yield to your Spirit once again and ask that you would remind me of this prayer often. Amen. Alan
