Fix Your Eyes on Jesus
May we be women who turn away from the world, that we may meditate on the Lord's precepts and fix our eyes on his ways.
May the Truth take root in our hearts, ease our anxieties, and calm our fears. May it mold and transform and shape us into the women that God has created us to be.
May we be awed and humbled by the splendor and majesty of our God as we gaze upon his wonders.
May we know the peace that passes all understanding, the grace that covers all our sins, and the love that will not let us go.
And may we be the Lord's before we are anything else.
Let it be so, Lord. Let it be so.⠀⠀⠀

It's a declaration of faith in God's goodness and faithfulness, despite all appearances to the contrary, and it's always good for us to declare his praise. Especially when our weary souls need to be reminded of his goodness.
A Lesson on Praying for Our Children
