Daily Prayable

 

I pray when I am fearful.
I pray when I am in need.
I sing praise to You.
I lift up my hands, my heart, my soul.

Please take me beyond myself
and help me recognize the prayers of others,
from eyes raised skyward
to heads humbly bowed,
from whispers in quiet corners
to voices spiraling upward in song.

Our words may not be the same,
but our concerns and worries
and joys are so very alike,
expressed in songs, requests,
and silent cries to You.

At 6 feet, 2 inches, Ann Ward is nineteen years old and weighs 120 pounds.  It's frightening to see this model with an obvious body image disorder held up as a role model.
 
Maybe every woman has issues with weight and worth. We're also supposed to be eternally youthful.

We dye our hair, spend a fortune on anti-aging creams, even paralyze our foreheads with Botox.  But what is the crime in looking your age, and having a curve or two?
