Naomi's Prayer

by shelleylyn

Naomi, the Old Testament's greatest matchmaker, prays for guidance when she learns that Ruth, her daughter-in-law, will stay with her. Ruth's husband, (Naomi's son) has died and Naomi feels she has little to offer her. As a result of Naomi's cleverness

Naomi's Prayer

Lord, in the depths of my sorrow, I have been given great joy.
Ruth will stay with me.
She has gained faith in Thee.
She is a true daughter.
We will return to my people.

But Lord, I am an old woman.
My sons are gone.
I am a widow.
I have nothing to offer her.

Please guide me.
Provide a way.
I will obey your voice.
I will remember thee.
