"Please keep your truth alive and singing in my heart.
Make me Hephzibah which means"my delight is in her"
May I be poised for action like Esther
may I be loyal and sacrificially faithful like Ruth
May I have Deborah's wisdom,
Mary's innocence,
Eve's unbroken relationship with You.
Make me joyfully passionate like the woman at the well
unaffected and clear-sighted like the 'alabaster woman
a student and devoted follower like Mary (Martha's sister).
Make me bold and adventurous like Rahab;
cunning and shrewd like Tamar--able to stand for justice.
May I be used in spite of my sin like Bathsheeba and in spite of my weakness like the woman with the issue of blood.
Lord, may I be beautiful and desired like the bride in Solomon's songs.
Fearless of change like Rebekah.
The mother of nations like Sarah.
May I be worth the fight like Rachel--Jacob's 14-year prize.
I know that all of this is inside of me somewhere. All these women are tied together by the Holy Spirit--linked by Your story and filling and design. I know You can bring out this godliness in me.
Father, Make me a fierce opponent for the Devil, a mighty tool in Your hands. Make me humble and surrendered and broken to Your using--but solid and fearsome--a defender of the weak, releasing prisoners from darkness. I long to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with You! Mold my heart towards these, Your desires for me. I surrender to You" J.L.O
Amen.
Thank you precious friend for this and all the other prayers that you prayed for me
all that time ago!
Today, I find great strength and encouragement from these words
Grateful for you and your love for the Father
