Praying for the skirts: Part Two

Lord I just praise you for who You are..
I thank you that you have sent your son to be a covenant to the nations,
To open blind eyes and to bring out prisoners from the dungeons, and those
who dwell in darkness from the prisons. Is. 42:6
Lord, I feel that these people walk in the darkness of their traditions and
culture, but Your son can set them free...and when the Son sets us free
we are free indeed. Lord, I don't know how that will look...different than
here I am sure, but Your freedom in any culture brings peace and wholeness.

Lord, here is a whole generations of young girls.I just lift them up to you
Lord would you work in their hearts and give them the desire to learn,
to read, to write to apply their hearts to instruction and their ears to
words of knowledge Proverbs 23:12

In learning to read language they will be able to read Your translated Word!
Let it bring joy to their hearts. Jeremiah15:16
Let them behold wonderful things from your law; things that they have not
seen before Psalm 119:18, and give them understanding to these things.

I pray that the written Word in the Nafe language will go out in Your power
with the Holy Spirit and in full conviction bringing change to this generation. 1Thes. 1:3

Let the truth of the gospel permeate the hearts of these young women to understand
their value in Your eyes.
That they are fearfully and wonderfully made; that their frames were not hidden from
You when they were made in secret, but instead that it was You that formed
their inward parts and wove them in their mother's wombs.
Help them to understand that Your thoughts are are precious toward them, O God!Psalm 139
Let the knowledge of these truths make them better women, better wives and better mothers.

Jesus, You said that with people some things are impossible but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26
I love this truth, God, I don't know how it will all come to look for this generation but nothing is impossible
for You to accomplish.
So I pray that these girls, on this island,
will sing to You a new song.
That they will Sing Your Praise from the end of the earth!
That they will lift up their voices and give Glory To God. Isaiah 42:10
