Thoughts on rights for women
Women are struggling for freedom around the world. In many countries sex trafficking continues unabated. In Afghanistan and elsewhere, women have been denied the right to education. Even in the United States and other developed countries, there are women who suffer abuse, who have not yet moved above the “glass ceiling” in employment, or who experience sexual harassment in the workplace.
Here are some thoughts I’ve found helpful as I’ve prayed about these issues.
Gratitude. As we magnify the good in prayer, we see more good expressed. My prayer of gratitude might go like this: “Father-Mother God, thank you for creating everyone equal. Thank you for giving women strength, intelligence, and courage, as well as giving men tenderness, insight, and caring. Thank you for protecting them, for cherishing, encouraging, and guiding them.”
