POWER OF A PRAYING WOMAN…
Are you a praying woman? Do you wonder if God hears your prayers or if he listens to women at all? Throughout Scripture, women have played an important role. We see mothers raising god-fearing children who change the world as well as sisters stepping into dangerous jobs to help all the while working alongside female friends and neighbors who share God’s love.
Embedded into the very culture of these heroic women of the Bible is the discipline of prayer. Today we will look more deeply at 19 praying women of the Bible who changed the world.
The Importance of a Praying Woman
Why is a praying woman so important?
The Bible tells us to pray nearly 400 times. Not only does God tell us to pray, but He also gives us examples of people who pray, prayers to copy, and even a formula for prayer straight from Jesus. Why? Because prayer changes things.
When a woman prays, she literally fortifies the armor of God around herself, her family, and anyone else she prays for. This is important because the enemy is around every corner looking for a way in.
A praying woman is important she keeps that armor strong – even for those who may not be saved or may not pray as much.
What Happens When a Woman Prays, Believing?
After I surrendered my life to God, I began to read the Bible differently. No longer was it a thing on my to-do list, but my quiet time was a place to meet with God and get to know Him.
The more I got to know Him, the more I trusted Him, believing He would move and answer.
Believing God changes everything about prayer.
What happens when a woman prays, truly believing God will answer? He answers and she sees it because she has her eyes fixed on Him.
“You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast (eyes are fixed on God),
because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3
That is what ties together each of these praying women of the Bible. Even where we imply they prayed, we imply it because their lifestyle verifies it. Each of them doesn’t have a chapter and verse where we see prayer, but that is because prayer is mostly a secret act. Let’s look more deeply into their lives and see the evidence.
Who Was a Praying Woman in the Bible
All throughout the Bible, we find stories of women who remained strong in their faith and prayed fervently – even when it seems their prayers weren’t being answered. They knew prayer wasn’t simply to ask for things but instead to keep a continuous conversation with the Father.

And that couldn’t be more true in this article. Having said that, let me reveal to you what exactly did give good results. The text is actually pretty engaging and that is probably why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can notice a leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not convinced of exactly how you appear to unite the ideas which make your final result. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your point however hope in the near future you actually link the dots better.
