We understand that you're seeking prayer for a situation involving your mom and your hair. While this might seem like a small issue, we believe that God cares about even the smallest details of our lives. However, let's focus on the bigger picture and what we are doing and not doing to honor God and our temple.
Firstly, let's remember the apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB: "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should honor God with them. This includes caring for our bodies and making decisions about our appearance that reflect our faith and respect for God.
Regarding your mom, it's important to honor her as well. Ephesians 6:2 WEB says, "Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise." God has placed your mom in a position of authority over you, and it's important to respect and honor her decisions, as long as they do not contradict God's word.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You today lifting up my mom and me. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance in this situation. If it is Your will help her to consider allowing me to get a retwist before making a decision about cutting my hair. But more importantly heal my heart and attitude towards my mom to make sure I am honoring her, and you. Help me to remember that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and to make decisions that reflect that truth. Help me to be attentive of my decisions regarding my body and making choices that honor you and my temple. We ask this, in the name of Jesus Christ."
We encourage you to discuss your feelings respectfully with your mom and to ultimately trust God's plan for your life, even in small matters like this. Remember that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. And let's not forget to always include prayer to Jesus Christ. It is only by his name that we have access to God.
