That praying woman.  There’s nothing like the example of a woman who activates her prayers when she’s in need.  Her responses to her trials reflect the long-term relationship she’s cultivated with her God.

That faithful woman.  A woman who’s growing in her faith learns to talk to her troubles like they’re temporary.  Past experience teaches us that God uses issues to draw something out of and in us.  Our perspectives can change when we consider what He must be up to.  Our habits, then become a road map to our character.  With time, we understand that trials can’t break us because we’re in God’s hands.

That gracious woman.  Most of the time, trials annoy us.  We’d prefer they’d just go away.  But God’s clear design is that we learn to live well in the midst of difficulty- that we become that woman who is an example of His grace, who draws others to look to Him when they don’t know where to look, and who grows and matures day-by-day.  

That grateful woman.  Whether in health, finances, family, work, loss, or friendships, God’s purposes can be trusted.  So, as we ‘go through’ we can expand our prayer life, be open to God’s actions, make healthier decisions, develop compassion for others, view our condition from His position, develop increased gratitude, choose not to complain, and see God as being bigger than the box we place Him in. 

As the saying goes, “Be the change you want to see”.  Well, we can be free to become the woman we admire- that woman who looks up and in deeply every day.
