Consider Jesus Christ...

Heb 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
Heb 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Heb 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Heb 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Heb 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.]


Dont consider yourself. Consider Jesus, and believe and pray without ceasing and fight until it passes.

God has put some women in my heart: women that have a testimony. Remember Hannah whose heart was breaking. She did not go to her husband to 'make it all alright', she went to God, her heavenly father. There is something that happens when I lay down on the floor with my head against the earth, crying out to the God of my help. He hears and answers. Hannah did not have a man to help her, she had the God of Israel; and that was alright. The God that has the courage to help a woman that is in distress.
He is my glory and the one who lifts up my head. He will lift up your head and your countenance will no longer be downcast.
Mary said of the Lord, "Be it unto me, according to your word".

The Shunnamite woman said to the man of God, do not lie to me-man of God. Her husband gave her a dying child, and she went after the man of God and got that boy brought back to life.
God has put in a woman the heart and courage to cry for herself and her children...to cry and He hears and answers.

Esther put her life on the line for her people in the name of the Lord God of Israel. Her life was preserved and she was favored of the King. Her people were delivered from their enemies because God raised up a woman 'for such a time as this'.
Jael was full of courage to annihilate the enemy that lay in her tent. In the strenght of the Lord she did not flinch.
Zipporah stood between the Lord and his servant Moses. In wisdom and graceful courage, she saved the lives of her husband and her sons.
Abigail saved the lives of all the males in her household from death by the sword of David. David remembered her and protected her in his house. She begged for the life of her wicked husband Nabal, and God gave her a man after His own heart for a husband.

God thinks on the lives and affairs of women...
