Verse of the Week
3 Don’t
be concerned about the
outward beauty of fancy hairstyles,
expensive jewelry, or beautiful
clothes. 4 You should clothe
yourselves instead with the beauty
that comes from within, the unfading
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is so precious to God.
I Peter 3:3-4 NLT

Dear God, creator of women
in your own image, born of a woman
in the midst of a world half women,
carried by women to mission fields
around the globe, made known by
women of our time the strength to
persevere, the courage to speak out,
the faith to believe in you beyond all
systems and institutions so that your
face on earth may be seen in all its
beauty, so that men and women
become whole, so that the church
may be converted to your will in
everything in all ways.
Like Elijah, O God, we turn
and face You in the midst of the
storm. Help us this hour to hear You
speak to us – not in the wind, or the
thunder, not even in the upheaval of
the ground beneath us. Help us to
hear You speak to us, in our heart of
hearts, as that still, small voice amidst
the maelstrom, which gives us
direction, and peace, and hope. We
pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
