Being like Bible women

 Being like Bible women

Lord, give me the diligence of Rebekah,

Though I don't need to draw water for camels

I want to show everyone the Source of the living water.

Give me the meekness and the zeal of Ruth,

Though I don't need to glean among the ears of grain,

I want to work in Your field with humility.

Make me wise like Abigail was

And help me to be a peace-maker

In difficult situations.

I want You to make me like Esther,

Though I am not a queen nor a beauty,

I want to be selfless like her.

Give me a heart of worship and thirst for Your Word,

I want to sit at Your feet and give You the most precious thing I have

Like Mary of Bethany did.

I want to be like Tabitha,

Though I am not skilled in her handiwork,

I want to help people like she did.

I want so much to be like Priscilla,

Though there is no Aquila in my life,

I want to serve You whole-heartedly like she did.

Lord, make me what You want me to be,

Though I don't know and don't understand many things,

I'm so happy to be Your daughter.
