The Power of a Praying Wife

Last post I shared about a daily prayer calendar with a prayer each day for husbands. I want to share just a few of these. These are from the first few days of January and are somewhat of an introduction with a great emphasis on the power of a wife's prayers.

The first one gets our focus right. There are always just a few areas where those husbands could use some change. But, many times our wifely ideas don't work in making those changes! This page of the calendar begins by addressing that and encouraging us to allow God to do what only He can do:

The power of a praying wife is not a means of gaining control over your husband...In fact, it is quite the opposite. It's laying down all claim to all power in and of yourself and relying on God's power to transform you, your husband, your circumstances and your marriage.

The power of a praying wife is a way to invite God's power into your husband's life for his greatest blessing, which is ultimately yours, too.

Through the prayers of a wife, it opens the door for God to work as only He can. This is one area that I can truly say the Lord has transformed me. And what a blessing it has been in my marriage. What I can't do...God can!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?” This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us. Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God. There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice. We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it. Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God. He is the I AM – no one else is. When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
