Source: Smart Content Import168 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Dear God of Love and Justice,

As I reflect on Women and Church Leadership in my life today, I am reminded of your wisdom found in Acts 2:17-18. Help me to see this area of my life through your eyes of love and respond with the compassion and justice you have shown me.

Guide me to be a light in the darkness, bringing hope and healing wherever I encounter Women and Church Leadership. May my actions reflect your character of love and work for the transformation of our world into your kingdom of justice and peace.

In the name of the One who came to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed, Amen.

Take a moment today to consider how God might be calling you to engage with Women and Church Leadership in a way that honors the divine image in all people and works for justice in our world. The devotional life is not just about personal growth—it's about being transformed to transform the world around us.
