We are praying about self image this week. Please read chapter 28 in your book to find suggested verses to use in your prayers. Only a couple more weeks to go! 

This week we are praying for our husband's obedience to God.  "Walking in obedience has to do not only with keeping God's commandments, but also with heeding God's specific instructions." page 185. Pray that your husband will not only obey God's Word but also the Spirits promptings as He leads. 

​This week, we are praying for repentance and deliverance for our husbands. I encourage you to ask God to reveal specific areas where your husband may need to seek repentance or find deliverance.

Please be mindful of what you share to ensure we are lifting our husbands up before the throne of grace rather than engaging in gossip.

​This week, we are focusing our prayers on our husbands' emotions. As the chapter highlights, anger and depression are two common emotional challenges men face. The author suggests that these can often be the result of habitual thinking patterns.

While men may believe these traits are unchangeable parts of their character, these patterns can be broken. We are encouraged not to simply stand by, but to pray actively against these emotional struggles.

Please join me in prayer this week!

This week we are praying for his marriage. I would encourage you to share any specific areas of concern you have with your prayer partner. I like her sample prayer on page 155 which begins, "Lord, I pray You would protect our marriage from anything that would harm or destroy it. Shield it from our own selfishness and neglect, from the evil plans and desires of others, and from unhealthy or dangerous situations." This is a prayer each of us can pray for our marriage! 

This week I am combining two chapters, His Past & His Attitude. I would not normally encourage wives to dwell on the past but in this scenario we are praying that old ways, old sins that still seem to have a hold in our husband's life would be removed. As for his attitude, we could all use an attitude adjustment from time to time! I encourage you to read the chapters and Stormie's prayers at the end and pick verses from them to pray over your husband. Remember to check in with your prayer partner and pray for her specific needs as well. 

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6&7

​Hi Ladies,

I am posting the schedule for the next couple of weeks now, as I will be away on vacation and awaiting the birth of my grandchild.

This Week: Chapter 15 - His Reputation
"Lord, lead him, guide him, and be his mighty fortress and hiding place. May his light shine before men that they see his good works and glorify You, Jesus."

May 10th: Chapter 16 - His Priorities
"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." — Matthew 6:33

May 17th: Chapter 17 - His Relationships
Pray that God would bring your husband godly friends whom he can trust and be transparent with—Christian men who will hold him accountable and encourage him in his walk with the Lord.

This week, we are reading Chapters 13 & 14 of the book, and we are praying that God would see our husbands through their trials and protect their integrity. Every one of us goes through various trials in our lives. For the next few days, we have the privilege of lifting up the men in our church, asking God to lighten their burdens, to protect them, and to bring beauty from ashes. 

​"You have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:6-7

Stormie defines integrity as "who you are when no one is looking".  Let us pray that our husbands will walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh, that they will speak truth and be men of God whom we can follow. Your children, neighbors, and coworkers are watching them. Let them be men who speak and act like Jesus.
