Prayer to Holy Wisdom/ Sophia by Laura Grimes



7           Show us your mercy, O Sophia, *
   and grant us your salvation.

8           I will listen to what Sophia, our God, is saying, *
   for She is speaking peace to Her faithful people
   and to those who turn their hearts to Her.

9          Truly, Her salvation is very near to those who fear Her, *
   that Her glory may dwell in our land.

10       Mercy and truth have met together; *
   righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11       Truth shall spring up from the earth, *
   and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12       Sophia will indeed grant prosperity, *
   and our land will yield its increase.

13       Righteousness shall go before Her, *
   and peace shall be a pathway for Her feet.

 And an excerpt from Laura Grimes' Advent Meditations book 
(daily divine feminine scripture readings for the season) is

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. 
For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received 
the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Amma! Mother!”
The Spirit Herself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; 
and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; 
if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.  
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time 
are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed 
toward us.

For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God 
to be revealed.  For the creation was subjected to vanity, not 
of its own will, but because of Her who subjected it, in hope 
that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay 
into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.  
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together 
until now.  Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits 
of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, 
the redemption of our body.

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. 
For who hopes for that which they see?  
But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.  
In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t
 know how to pray as we ought.  
But the Spirit Herself makes intercession for us with groanings 
which can’t be uttered.  She who searches hearts knows what is in the 
Spirit’s mind, because She makes intercession for the
 saints according to God.
Romans 8:14-27
