She Prays Daily

Women, we are beautiful inside and out.  We are told that and we still refuse to listen or believe the truth that is spoken.  Why are we beautiful? 

Because inside of us lives something so perfect that any blemish or fault is surpassed. His name is Jesus and He trumps all of our insecurities, fears, failures, and definitely imperfections! These next few blogs I want to talk to y’all about the qualities of being a godly woman because sometimes we need to be challenged and reminded of the power we have in Jesus name!

A godly woman prays daily.

If you are like me, you can relate in that prayer is sometimes a last ditch effort. But God created it to be more powerful than a contingency plans! So why does a godly woman pray daily?

1. She recognizes that she cannot control everything. Prayer brings peace and contentment because it trumps any worry and anxiety. You have to put everything in Gods hands because that is where it belongs! 

2. Prayer is Power → Prayer wages war past this temporary life into the invisible realm. James 6:12 reminds us of our enemy that rules over this present darkness. 

3. From past experiences I have found that it is impossible to hate someone that you pray for. “There is nothing that makes us love a person so much as for praying for them.” We are instructed by God to pray for each other! Which leads me into my last point.

4. Prayer heals brokenness. James 5:13-20 […And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person; the Lord will raise them up.  If they have sinned they will be forgiven… pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.]

How to pray:

1. “Pray as if everything depended on your prayer.” –William Booth

2. Pray from your heart. In the Bible we often see the religious leaders pray long and repetitious prayers that lack passion and life. 

3. Pray with faith and ask for spiritual wisdom. James 1:6 [But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.]

4. Pray with vulnerability, love is vulnerable. We are helpless without God and He knows that. He wants us to bring our brokenness to His feet rather than carrying it on our backs. Exodus 14:14 [The Lord will fight for you, you only need to be still.]
