God can whisper to us through things like friends, through pain or through sunrises, a hymn, and His Word.

MY THOUGHTS courtseyChristArt
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, . . . that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 1Timothy 2:1,2b
Prayer is so very important. It is more than talking to God. It is a mind set. When we pray for ourselves and for others, we step out of our needs and control issues. It is an action. It is doing something. We place it in someone else's hands - the hands that stretched out on the cross. We hand the problem over to the One who knows best how to handle it.

I thoroughly believe that the characters in the Bible can be examples for us today. That is why the stories were told. They not only point us to Jesus, but how we should act in His presence, act with each other. In the pages of the New Testament were real women with real hurts, struggles, shortcomings, and at times, great faith. Each has a lesson to relate to us even now, thousands of years from the time they last breathed a breath on this earth.
There are well known women in the New Testament - Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Martha and Mary, Lazarus's sisters. Just like their sisters in the Old Testament, Ruth, Naomi, Sarah, and Esther, and the Proverbs 31 woman, their faith and sacrifice are noteworthy examples for us today.
But there are lesser known women, some who are never named, and are only known as "the woman", who have just as great a tale to tell. Their actions and reactions to Jesus and his disciples can also be a testimony for women of all ages and in every age, and are worth telling until the day when He comes back for His own.
