But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. 17Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!”

And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz, the relative of her father-in-law, Elimelech.

“Yes, I know,” Boaz replied. “But I also know about everything you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband. I have heard how you left your father and mother and your own land to live here among complete strangers. 12May the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.”

Now don’t worry about a thing, my daughter. I will do what is necessary, for everyone in town knows you are a virtuous woman.

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is better than anything I can imagine, help me to accept it without changing it to my desire. Help me to submit to your plan wholeheartedly and do what you desire for me. Help me to move past the strongholds I cling on to and allow your restoration to have it’s way. It is for your glory my desire is to act.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
