Prayers to the Young Girl
“Never stop praying!” —Thessalonians 5:17
Life is a rollercoaster and although it can be scary at times, it can also be a fun and thriving adventure! If we trust Jesus, he will open our eyes to the beauty that our stories truly are. Prayers to the Young Girl encourages and motivates you to be free, vulnerable, powerful, and honest about life’s adversities; whether good, bad or indifferent. As I share how my life as a young woman has changed over the last few years, and talk to the little girl inside of me; I will reveal how using my superpowers of intercession and my relationship with Christ has brought about a life full of healing, blessings, and peace—to both Ciara, the little girl & Ciara, the adult & mother.
This journey is for you my sister; to talk to the little girl inside and remind her that God loves every part of her. That he hears every thought, & every cry, and sees all her pain and efforts, and is with her through it all. And as you grow into a place of understanding and loving God; you will know how to call on him & know when you hear his voice. Praying is more than talking to the air, but rather having some of the greatest, most challenging, and yet freeing conversations with your best friend.
I pray this journey blesses you in more ways than one. Don’t hesitate to write me and reach out; WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER! Share this podcast with another sister as it blesses you and let’s continue to be a light, and spread the joy & love of Jesus Christ everywhere we go. I love you my sister, but God loves you best!
Prayers to the Young Girl
Episode 9 - Love vs. Lust (Part 1)
This episode here may ruffle some feathers & be a tad uncomfortable, but if I’ve learned nothing else in my 29 years of life; it’s that change, growth, HEALING & success is groomed from being uncomfortable and it’s not always convenient.
In this new episode I start by asking the question; “If you could go back to that little girl (you), what would you tell her? Based on your life today; What advice would you give that young you?”
As a young woman I have made many mistakes by believing in the persuasion of a lustful world that presents itself like it loves you, but truthfully just wants to take from you. My life has shown me how so easily we degrade ourselves because we have honestly confused what love is, for what lust offers. LUST TAKES!! It takes away our dignity, our worth, our power, our stability & our respect for ourselves as well as for each other. As women, my prayer is that we make ourselves uncomfortable enough to change how we present ourselves to the world——like we belong to God! Let’s put away the stereotypes of what our bodies should look like or how much skin we ought to show & just to prove how attractive we are? —-well in society’s eyes anyway (which this world should NEVER be the judge). I pray we follow after the word of God and clothe ourselves with strength & dignity. That we will remember how sacred it is to be royalty.
Romans 12:2 “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Like I said, this one may be a harsh truth to see, but as our big brother Jesus Christ once said; “the truth shall set you free!”
