Found in You

You make me capable, 
worth far more than jewels.
With You, I can do good all the days of my life. 
You give me willing hands to work,
You cause me to rise while it is still night, 
provide and feed my household- those who you have given to me.
You give me strength and wisdom-
prudence in investment of my time, talents and wealth.
You make me strong Lord.
You make me able, a woman, give me strength and precision. 
You give me a generous heart, so I can give to the needy.
I will not be afraid when disaster comes, for Lord, you have prepared me 
and I have prepared my home. 
Lord, you make me beautiful, 
you cover me with grace, honesty and purity.
Lord, I do what I need to, so that my own may be successful.
You strengthen and dignify me, 
and because you are with me,
I rejoice in what our future holds.
You give me words of wisdom; 
when I speak, my words do not destroy,
but build and heal.
I work Lord, and I am able to do that which is necessary,
I will not sit idle.
My home, my people call me happy- you make me excellent.
Lord, you make me a woman of integrity.
You are mine and I am Yours.
May my works bear generous fruit,
and give you glory forever.

Amen.
