How To Pray For Our Children Day 15

Protection from The Strange Woman 

The Desire to be Virtuous Women

Specifically thinking of my sons... May the Lord shield my son's hearts from the strange woman. 

The book of Proverbs is filled with loud warnings against her. It is for good reason that the Bible has much to warn against the strange woman.

Specifically thinking of my daughters…May they be virtuous women. The book of Proverbs has much to say about this woman as well. Proverbs 31:11-12 says, "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."
