Following on from my "How do you pray?" post I am wondering if there is such a thing as the divine feminine in Christianity? 

I prayed last night and it was conversational (not that I remember what was said) and if 'felt' like I was conversing with a woman. This has thrown me somewhat.

God has no gender; He incorporates both the masculine and the feminine.

In Scripture, the 'pictures' that are used to describe Him are overwhelmingly 'masculine' ones (King, Warrior, Judge, Bridegroom, Father) - but there are also some 'feminine' ones: a midwife (Psalm 71:6), a Mother (Isaiah 66:13), a hen protecting her chicks (Luke 13:34). 

He understands us women as completely as He understands the men. So prayer might well feel 'as if' you are talking to another woman.

God is not a person, but Spirit, and he made men and women in His image, He has aspects of both the masculine and feminine.

When God speaks to us, He is gentle, but this doesn't mean He is a female Spirit. He is male in His Son and His headship in our lives.
