WOMEN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT- PROVERBS 31 WOMAN: A PRAYER IN THE LIGHT OF THE STORY
8:30 PM
Heavenly Father:
As I recall those first days when I made the
commitment to surrender my life to You, I realized there were many things I had
to change in me. Then, as I came across this virtuous woman in Proverbs 31, I
knew I wanted to become such a woman because I wanted to be worthy of your calling-
a calling for each woman-
Yes Heavenly Father, with all my heart I want to become
a woman:: ““… who fears the Lord [reverently
worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], …”! (Proverbs 31:30)
I was not a wife yet, nor a mother, but Your Holy
Spirit gave me such a hunger and thirst for your Word and little by little I
became aware that it was You who would make this change in my life… the change
would have to start in my heart. And that the virtues of this Proverbs 31 woman
was something I had to practice daily, and I prayed and rested on Your Promises
(Jeremiah 29:11-13), trusting You would kindly take me by the hand in my walk
with You!
So many years have gone by since we both began this
journey… I became a wife and later on a mother. Now I am even a grandmother! But
You know my Heavenly Father, it has not been easy: I´ve stumbled and fallen
many times, and You have always been there by my side to pick up the broken
pieces, by Your Grace and Faithfulness:
