God's Girls Oath Prayer
"May we be built up
until we all reach unity in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of
God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the
fullness of Christ."
Ephesians 4:12-13
Tough
times and situations can be difficult and demanding, but at the end
of the day we are still expected to honor God and His laws.
Either we can aim satisfy
ourselves or aim to satisfy God. Sometimes its hard walking
as
an authentic Christian, because many times we can fall short
in the glory of God through our actions. Life isn't always easy;
spiritual lessons can be hard to
learn and endure; and we live in God's footstool with others who can be
cruel. But, through it all we must strive to be God's Girl
shining like the
"light and salt of the earth"
Jesus
says we are. Our words must reflect light and our actions must be
filled with "saltiness" adding flavor in everything we do, not
taking it away. In the Old Testament salt was used with sacrifices
in recalling God's
covenant with His people.
(Leviticus 2:13)
In the New Testament, Jesus uses the term "salt" to describe how we
should be in the world. Just as salt changes the flavor of
meat, so should we change the ways of the world making a difference
in the way we live and being an example for our children and the
people around us. Just as salt prevents decay and is used as a
preservative in foods, so should we preserve God's word, His love
and the message of His Kingdom. How do we do this? By
what we say and do. Jesus says,
"salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness,
how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and
be at peace with each other."
(Mark 9:50)
Join our network, be a God's Girl...useful to
Him in His purpose for you, sustaining yourself through His word
while maintaining the "saltiness" in all you do as a
Christian. Take the God's Girls Oath...
God's Girls Oath
Prayer
"Lord God,
you are my rock,
you are my shelter,
my Holy Father,
all that is good and perfect
who sees, knows and provides
all I need.
I pledge to you to
obey your laws and decrees,
loving you with all my heart,
all my strength, and all my might;
giving you thanks and praise at all
times;
loving my neighbors as I love myself;
mediating on your word day and night,
covering myself with your full armor;
turning away from all
things evil in your sight
including my fleshly desires, so I may please you;
surrendering my fears, doubts and negative thoughts
to you when my mind becomes full of worry;
striving to live a holy, productive life through
perseverance, self-control, and self-discipline;
praying for your mercy, forgiving and renewing my spirit,
in Christ, if I mistakenly fall short in your glory;
building others up with a tongue full of grace
and seasoned with salt to enlighten and encourage;
being humble like Christ in everything
I do;
walking by faith in your word, rather than
being conformed by the world's way through sight;
using your word like a sword, cutting through
evil darts and arrows that may come by day or night;
using my spiritual gifts to serve
you instead of myself;
making a difference in the world by
preserving the message of your Kingdom;
uniting in fellowship with other Christ-like sisters and
brothers
praying and singing with your Spirit in mind,
preparing on earth for a life in heaven with you,
oh Lord, that will never end."
AMEN
