1 Timothy 2:9

...in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing.

How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints. For the courts of You my Lord; My heart and flesh cry out for You the living God. Father, I pray for the young and old ladies of the world because they are haughty and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes. They are lost walking around mincing as the go. I pray Lord, they would see themselves as You see them as lovely, precious and of great value. May they find rest from their pretense and flagrant displays trying to be noticed and loved. May they come to understand there is more to the depth of who they are then headdress, leg ornaments, jingling anklets, scarves, bracelets, rings and charms. Father Your daughters put on outer garments and look to the reflection in the mirror for validation. Never seeing the light of Your adoring embrace. My heart is so sad to see my sister trying to cover their shame and regrets with fine linens instead of standing naked before the lover of their souls. Sweet Jesus may Your mercy and grace fall on them transforming them into beautiful women of godly character, sound judgement and self-control. May Your daughters rejoice because they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, You never make a mistake and have hand crafted each and every one. May our souls know so well that our frames were not hidden from You, when we were made in the secret place. How precious are Your thoughts towards us, O God. How great is the sum of them! If we were to count them, they would be more than the numbers of grains of sand.  Search us Lord and know our hearts. Try us and see if there is any wicked way in us so we will turn from it and be free from all anxieties. Lead us Lord in Your ways that are everlasting. I love You Jesus and ask this in Your name. Amen
