Prayer of a Captivating Woman :)
Sunday, July 25, 2010
Hello, hello!
This is a passage from the book "Captivating - Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul" by John & Stasi Eldredge...
" A lovely young woman wrote me and told me that as she takes great care in dressing in the morning, so she takes great care in putting on the armor of God. Listen to the first part of her prayer.
I now put on with thanks the armor which You have provided for me - girding myself with the belt of truth; binding up all that is vulnerable of my femininity; first my need to be pursued and fought for. Thank You for daily pursuing me and fighting for me as well.
I also gird up my desire to be irreplaceable in a grand scheme of Yours. You have placed this desire within me and I wrap Your truth around it, in hope of what You will do. Grant me eyes to see each day in light of Your activity, to live in the big-ness of Your story.
I gird up my desire to offer life through my gifting, the beauty You have bestowed on me. I ask You to continue to reveal and confirm what You desire to do through me and all You have given to me. I trust that You have called me by name and have given me a love, a beauty, a gift to pour out on my family, my friends, and those You bring to me. May this day be an offering of love poured out before You on the altar of my life."
