My prayers

I have a heart for ministry. The girls in the youth group I help out with have such a big piece of my heart, more than any of them probably realize. Daily I pray over these girls and for them.

I pray that they continue to have such a hunger for His world and seek His face.
I pray that they continue to allow God to guide their steps and choices they make in life.
I pray they take each day as it is, a gift from God.
I pray that they have open hearts and souls to God and His calling on their lives.
I pray that they continue to allow Him to do work in them and grow in their walk.
I pray that they see the potential in themselves.
I pray that they see they all have a Proverbs 31 woman inside of them.
I pray that they have the boldness of Ester, the hospitality of Lydia and submission of Mary.

But mostly I pray for them to be women of modesty.
They have so much self worth and beauty on the inside and out that people will see without having to wear short skirts and tank tops.
I pray that they allow their inner light and God given beauty to shine through.
I pray that they realize any man who only gives them attention when they are wearing short skirts and tank tops is not a man at all but a boy who isn't even worth their time. They deserve to be treated like Godly women by Godly men. It’s our job as daughters of Christ to look out for our brothers. We need to guard their hearts by guarding their eyes and watching what we allow into their hearts. Lust is a very strong struggle for someone to deal with and by not covering up we are feeding the enemy, allowing him to use you to tear your brother down. Please girls, hear my heart with this, I am in no means calling anyone out, just showing you that you have a bigger affect on those around you then you know.
As the beautiful Joy Henderson says, Modest is hottest.

I will always love these girls and pray over their lives. I am proud of everything they do.
