My Prayer for You
The past few weeks I’ve talked a lot about us as women making time for ourselves. Hoping to change our mentality of “Being on the bottom of the list” to one of “Being a priority on the list.” And I am so happy to report that women have been encouraged to make change. Comments are not always written on the blog but so many of you have blessed me with emails, phone calls or notes on Facebook. Thank you so much my dear sisters for encouraging me.
I would like to tie this month up with a prayer for you as you sift through the past few weeks and find your own little gem to hold onto.
My prayer for you is that you will remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made, by the true and living God who is creator of heaven and earth. Therefore you are good and precious in His sight. You are loved with an everlasting love, a love that cannot and will not fade. His love is a love that surpasses all human understanding, and is timeless and ageless as the heavens.
Remember these things my dear sisters so that when you find yourself in the midst of a storm, our adversary will not be able to convince you that God has abandoned you to fend for yourself. When someone in your life tries to make you feel less than special, remember that you are the daughter of a king. In fact my dear sisters you are daughters of the King of kings!! And no weapon formed against you will prosper.
When it seems like your prayers have not been heard and you will never receive an answer or help, remember He has promised to be your help in times of trouble, and that He has a purpose and plan for your life and it is one to prosper you and not harm you. So do not let your flesh, well meaning friends, circumstances or our enemy, talk you out of standing on His promises which He has given you through the blood of His Son.
As disappointment comes to visit and it seems like it will never leave, remember weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Life is often full of disappointments but Jesus (Yeshua) has told us to be of a happy countenance because He has overcome the world for us.
If your mirror or someone else tries to tell you that you are unattractive and no one wants you, remember God says, “There is an unfading beauty in a gentle and quiet spirit”, and this is of great value to Him. We are who, and what, God says we are, not the world’s or anyone else estimation. We are defined by God’s love and Him alone.
My prayer is that you will no longer live beneath your privilege of royalty by staying in stagnant ruts or giving into a defeatist attitude. Jesus (Yeshua) tells us in John 10:10 that He came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. [My paraphrase] Decide what that abundantly is for you, and step out to make change.
Dear sisters take the encouraging words the Holy Spirit has inspired me to write to you the past 4 weeks, and use them to make time and changes for yourselves so that you can live life to the fullest potential that God has deemed for each of you.
Know that I am very grateful to God to be able to write to you. It inspires my soul richly to be reminded of how great our God is. How much He loves us and the great value He has placed on each and every one of us.
I am sorry to say that no one entered the drawing last week for a yearly subscription to In Style magazine. Girls, it really is a nice magazine. Oh well, hopefully the next drawing will will have a better appeal.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.

Thanks Ponnie... it's nice to know when someone is praying for you! I remember about 3 months ago I prayed for a whole month for 5 ladies in my church. Some where married some were single. My prayer was based off of the prayer Paul prayed for the Colossian Church. Colossians 1:9-14. Where every the word "You" appeared I put that person's name in. I wrote to them and told them I was praying for them and some told me the things that happened in there lives. One started a new job, the other stared a new relations ship and who know what else that they did not share. That we should pray for each other should not be a burden but an honor. Thanks Ponnie for praying for me the things you listed. Every know and again we should ask ourselves "Who have I prayed for lately"? Any thoughts?
