Rachel - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Rachel - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and opened her womb.

— Genesis 30:22

REFLECT ON:	Genesis 30:1 – 24.
PRAISE GOD:	Because he never for a moment forgets about us. He is present and attentive, aware of our deepest desires, even when we’re certain he’s lost track of us.
OFFER THANKS:	That God alone is the Creator. Because of him, every human life is sacred.
CONFESS:	That we sometimes use our children, our husbands, our homes, or even the size of our paychecks to compete with other women.
ASK GOD:	To help you form deep and loyal friendships with other women so you can know the joy that comes from being sisters in Christ.

Lift Your Heart

Think of one woman you would like to get to know better in the next few months. Then pick up the phone and make a lunch date, or invite her to a play, movie, or concert. Make sure you build in a little time to chat so you can begin to build a relationship. One expert says it takes an average of three years to form a solid friendship. Don’t waste another moment!

Father, forgive me for letting my identity rest on whose wife or mother I am or what kind of job I have. I don’t want to view other women as my rivals but as potential friends and even soul mates. Please lead me to the friendships I desire, and help me to be patient with the process. Amen.
