4 Beautiful Prayers for Women
By praying to our Creator, we can discover both God’s beautiful work in the world and our beauty as one of his beloved children. My book Wake Up to Wonder describes how intentionally pursuing wonder through prayer helps us notice the beauty of God’s work around us. Prayer moves us closer to God, who is the source of all beauty. As we communicate with God through prayer, we also experience God’s love for us, which helps us appreciate how beautiful we truly are. Here are four beautiful prayers for women:
1. A prayer to see yourself as beautiful as God sees you: “Beautiful God, please help me notice and appreciate how your beauty is reflected in every part of creation – including me. Help me see myself the way you see me – as someone whose body, mind, and spirit are completely beautiful because they reflect your work. Thank you for making me a beautiful soul and loving me without limits. Empower me to respond well to the barrage of messages that society sends me every day, telling me that I'm not beautiful enough. Whenever I encounter one of those messages (from advertisements to social media postings), remind me that, in truth, I am beautiful. Help me develop the habit of focusing my thoughts on what you say about me rather than on what other people happen to say about me. Thank you, amen.”
2. A prayer about your beautiful body: “God, my body is unique and wonderful because you designed it to function in amazing ways. Help me not to worry about any of the differences in my body from the bodies you have given other people – my height, weight, facial features, type of hair, eye or skin color, etc. I trust that you have made me who I am for good purposes. Give me the confidence I need to accept my body fully and appreciate its distinctive beauty. Encourage me to take good care of my body, as well, through such healthy habits as eating nutritious foods and getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. Thank you, amen.”
3. A prayer about your beautiful mind: “Thank you for the gift of my mind, my wise God. Bring beautiful thoughts into my mind so I can deal with every situation in my life wisely and from an accurate perspective that reflects the beauty of your truth. Give me the strength I need to turn my mental focus away from ugly thoughts that don't reflect your healthy and positive values. Teach me to think critically about the thoughts that enter my mind so I can learn to recognize which ones are really true, concentrate on those, and let the rest go. As my mind is flooded with lots of information each day, help me to concentrate, absorb, and understand what's most important. Let me constantly be learning something new that you want me to know. Give me fresh creative ideas each day for solving problems, working on projects, and expressing my thoughts and feelings in ways that bring joy to myself and the people who know me. Thank you, amen.”
4. A prayer about your beautiful spirit: “Holy God, thank you for giving me a spirit with eternal and infinite value. Help me to grow closer to you every day by discovering more about your holiness and developing those same virtues in my own life. Teach me to be a more loving person above all since your essence is love. Let me be able to sense the Holy Spirit’s presence with me. Help me to trust in the beauty of your purposes for me and to know that whenever I pray, you will respond in beautiful ways to work out each situation for the best. Thank you, amen.”
