The devil will tell us it won't make a difference. The devil will do his best to distract us. The devil will tell us that self-help books or nagging or ultimatums would be better. But none of that will have lasting effects (and very likely they could damage relationships).
Women, we need to be women. We were specially made to nurture and love those God puts in our lives. We have power within us. And if we know Jesus Christ, He has promised we will have rivers of living water flowing out of us.
There is no reason why we have to watch our society decline and fall into the darkest and most heinous sin we never would have pictured happening to our world. We can fight back. We have God on our side.
This current society is against men being men and women being women. This is anti-God. This is anti-life. This is anti-truth!
Toddlers know the difference between men and women. We do too if we are honest. Who could imagine it takes courage to admit what a woman is and what a man is! That is where we are now.
So, what do we do?
We don't get angry.
We don't despair.
We don't hate.
We love. We love with abandon! And we pray! We pray and pray and pray!
Women, I have a challenge for you. And it is a lifelong challenge, and if you commit to it there maybe days you forget. Life gets busy. And everything around you won't want you to do it. But our men need us.
Commit to praying for your men every day for the rest of your life.
There are two times to choose from: 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Choose your time and when that time comes, pray. You can pray silently. You can pray aloud. You can pray with others. But pray. Just for 30 seconds or for a minute. Whatever. Pray your men see truth. Pray they see God. Pray they follow Jesus. Pray they have courage to be the men God has called them to be. Name them by name in your prayers. Picture them when you pray. We take time to look at our phones quickly. This is just like that. But oh, so much more! It has eternal consequences. And our prayers are actually things we create and they take on lives of their own.
This is between you and God. You don't have to tell me you are doing it. But I beg you, your men, whoever they are, need you to pray for them. Maybe you pray for your husband or your sons; your grandsons, your brothers, your father or friends -- you know the men in your life who are important to you. Pray for them. And please, share this post with other women in your life.
Here is the scripture I referred to: John 7:38. Jesus says, "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of (her) heart will flow rivers or living water.'"
Rivers! That is more than one!! Women, God's power will work through us. Let God work through you in prayer.
