Father God, so many times Your word has been misinterpreted to oppress women, to keep them "in their place" as lower class christians. I know it grieves Your Spirit when the beauty of Your Word is used to hurt Your children. I pray for Diana as she pours herself into the plight of women who are not just oppressed, but abused and disposable, risking her own life to allow others a glimpse of freedom from oppression. It was for freedom that You have set us free and I pray Your Spirit will renew her strength and ecourage her to continue to run hard after justice and righteousness. My these women see themselves as beautiful daughters of the Most High God, in whom He delights.
