Deborah: The Worshipping Warrior. In honor of Women’s History Month, celebrated in the United States.
Dear Lord, I thank you for the role of women in history and your kingdom. As the prophetess and judge Deborah, I pray that I am filled with godly wisdom so I can make wise decisions and offer counsel and advice to others. When others are too tired and discouraged, may I inspire them to possess what You have promised. Lord, help me to walk in obedience and help me to have the confidence to follow your instructions despite fear and the size of the obstacle. I pray that I will demonstrate courage in the face of adversity, and not be afraid to stand against the enemy. Whenever challenges arise, I pray that like Deborah, I will be confident that you have already given me the victory, and all that I need to do is possess it. Lord, help me to discern when it is the right time for battle and when to take action. I pray that my life will be filled with wisdom, revelation, and discernment, and that I will also be a worshiping warrior. May I sing like Deborah “Lord, let all Your enemies perish! But let all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.”
Adonai, I commit every area of my life to your good pleasure, and I ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
