Prodigal: Are you going in to pray?
Me: Yes, I just read a wonderful prayer by a woman who served others often.
This is from the book Great Women of the Christian Faith by Edith Deen
This prayer was written by Elizabeth Fry a leader of prison reform for women
O Lord, may I be directed what to do and what to leave undone: and then may I humbly trust that a blessing will be with me in my various engagements….Enable me, O Lord, to feel tenderly and charitably toward all my beloved fellow mortals. Help me to have no soreness or improper feelings toward any. Let me think no evil, bear all things, hope all things, endure all things. Let me walk in all humility and Godly fear before all men, and in Thy sight. Amen.
Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever. Why do you hide your face?
Psalm 44:23-24
Jennifer Van Allen
