# Chapter 25: Lord use me to touch the lives of others | The Power of a Praying Woman

“With each book I have written I have prayed, “God, use me to touch the lives of others around the world with Your love, mercy, hope, and truth.” You can pray that prayer too, and God will use your abilities and talents to touch others powerfully. When your heart is to give to others from what God has given to you, He will enable you to do that.

We can never move into all what God has for us until we first move into intercessory prayer. This is one part of our calling that we have in common, because we are all called to intercede for others. God wants us to love others enough to lay down our lives for them in prayer. “Let us not love in word or tongue, but in deed and in truth.” (1 John 3:18)

1 Peter 4:10-11

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and the dominion forever and ever.

# Chapter 24: Lord, free me from ungodly fear. | The Power of a Praying Woman

“God does not want us to live in fear. Fear does not come from Him. It’s the world that teaches us to fear. The things we see in the movies, videos, newspapers and books to make us afraid. The things we hear people say and see them do causes us to have fear. The enemy can make us afraid of everything including our future.

We have to care more about what God says than what anyone else says. We must look to Him for approval and acceptance and not to people. If God does not have first place in our hearts, we are constantly fearing man. “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.”
 Proverbs 29:25

The bible says that when we are afraid it’s because we have not been made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18). Fear disappears in the presence of the Lord.”

Proverbs 1:28-29

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord.

# Chapter 23: Lord, heal me and help me care for my body. | The Power of a Praying Woman

“Healing and body care are two different things. When you ask God to heal you, this is something He does. Taking care of your body is something you do. Both are vitally important.

God knows we are a fallen race and can’t do everything perfectly. That’s why He sent Jesus to be our Healer. But he also calls us to be good stewards over everything He gives us including our body. He wants us to live in balance and temperance and to take care not to abuse our body in any way. He wants us to glorify him in the care of our bodies because we are the temple of His Holy Spirit. We sabotage our lives by not doing what’s best for our bodies and our health. Ask God to help you resist what is bad for you and to be disciplined enough to do what’s right.

Jeremiah 30: 17

“I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” thus says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

# Chapter 22: Lord, enable me to resist the temptation of sin. | The Power of a Praying Woman

“People don’t realize how much they lose when they give into sexual temptation. Their light never shines as brightly as it would have if they had not given into the lust of their flesh. Sins of the mind have serious consequences too.

Don’t let the devil rob you of all God has for you by tempting you with impure thoughts. It’s okay to appreciate a man’s talents, godliness, brilliance, or appearance, but unless you are married to him, remember that he is your brother in the Lord. If you ever find yourself with any kind of unholy attraction, confess it immediately before God and ask God to set you free from it. Then tell Satan that you recognize his plan to destroy you and separate you from all God has for you, and you are not going to allow him to do it. Fast and pray if you have to in order to breakdown that stronghold.”

Hebrews 12:1-2

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the anchor and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
