Prayer of Salvation:
Father, I thank You for every woman listening right now.
Thank You that You see her, know her, and have never taken Your eyes off her.
Even in the hidden places, even in the wilderness seasons—You have been near.
Lord, I ask that You would stir her heart to come closer.
Closer into intimacy, deeper into consecration,
and fully into alignment with Your will for her life.
Purify what needs to be purified.
Heal what still hurts.
Restore what has been stolen.
Let her know that she has not missed her moment—
that You are preparing her as a vessel of holiness and power,
fit for the assignment You’ve entrusted to her.
I declare she will rise in freedom, walk in truth,
and live worthy of the calling she has received.
Not bowing to culture, but transforming it—
marked by purity, peace, and Your power.
May she be purified, positioned, and prepared—
for such a time as this.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
