A Prayer About Character

A prayer about Character

When I find myself wanting to be a woman whom others admire

O Lord,

I confess that I sometimes put my emphasis on something that does not last—my outward appearance. I want others to admire me, but I know that outward beauty is not what will spur true admiration. Teach me that the most admirable qualities grow from having deep respect for you. I want to reflect your character, God. As I do that, may I develop the qualities that others can look up to.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. Proverbs 31:30
