Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.
Heavenly Father many have lost the way that leads to life. Your standards are high but attainable by the power of Your Holy Spirit living in us because we believe in Your resurrected Son Jesus. I come before You this day in His precious name asking for all the women in my life and myself included to have an awe reverent fear of You, for this is only the beginning of wisdom. To know You and be set apart is a gift. There are far too many odious women both young and old that fail at the standard You have set. Forgive us Lord for we do not understand how repulsive our pride, actions and lack of manners really are. I pray Lord for You to raise up women to meet Your standard for Your bride to have worth far above rubies. Truth be told there are few on earth that are so precious. Forgive us Lord for being too concerned with our outward appearance and neglecting the virtues of living. The attributes of a virtuous person are unattainable in our own strength for the works of the flesh, whether good or bad are rooted in the fruit of our old sin nature and are repugnant to You Almighty God. I thank You for the desire You place in our hearts to be holy, chaste, gracious and good and the achieving of this manner of life bringing glory to You Lord Jesus. I thank You for making us Your possession and clothing us in Your righteousness. May we daily abide in You and You abide in us, so we may present ourselves as a living sacrifice unto You. Finish Your work in us conforming us into Your image and likeness more and more with each passing day. May others see You in us and know the hope of Your glory. Amen.
