The following passage has been one of my favorites that I turn to from time to time to continue to help me understand my relationship to my Father in heaven as a woman, and most particularly how I might receive revelation from him, and how I might best conduct my life as a daughter of God.  The story, while true, also has a great deal of spiritual information in between the lines.

v15  "And the water was spent in the bottle .. ."

v16  "Let me not see the death of the child.  And she . . . lift[ed] up her voice and wept."

v17  "And God heard . . . What aileth thee . . . ? fear not . . .

v19  "And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."

(This is the story of Hagar, when she and her son Ishmael first had to leave her home in Abraham's camp, and be on her own.)
