“the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”
James 5:16(NKJV)
- “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
- “Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.” – Proverbs 23:22-25
- “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” – Galatians 5:22-23
- “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” – Exodus 20:12
- “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.’” – Proverbs 31:28-31
- “Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father.” – Leviticus 19:3
And we pray:
Precious Father, I thank You for the woman that brought me into this world, my mother. Without You and without her I would not be here today, praying that I encounter more women that have a strong belief in You. I know that no matter the gender, any person with a power and love for You is one that I would want around me, and I pray that I discover more of them soon. Amen.
