We understand your concern for Peggy and the changes you've observed in her life. Let's approach this with love, truth, and the wisdom of God's Word. The Bible tells us, "For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life" (Proverbs 6:23 WEB). It's important to pray for Peggy, but also to remind her of God's desire for honesty and humility.
Firstly, let's address the issue of boasting. The Bible says, "Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips" (Proverbs 27:2 WEB). Peggy should find her worth and identity in Christ, not in material wealth or false claims.
The practice of deceit is also strongly discouraged in the Bible. "Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do things that are true are his delight" (Proverbs 12:22 WEB). Let's pray for Peggy to understand the importance of honesty and truthfulness.
Peggy needs a heart transformation, which can only come through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life" (John 6:63 WEB). So, let's pray for the Spirit's work in her life.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up Peggy to you. We ask that your Spirit would convict her heart of boasting and dishonesty. Bring her to her knees, not in humiliation, but in humility before you. Help her to see the emptiness of worldly boasting and the freedom that comes from finding her worth in you. We ask for her salvation, that she may turn from her old ways and walk in newness of life with you. All this we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
Encourage Peggy to seek God's will for her life. When she understands her value in Christ, she will no longer feel the need to boast or be dishonest. "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time" (1 Peter 5:6 WEB).
May Peggy come to know the love and truth of Christ, and may her life be transformed by his grace.
