Every Wed. we pray and fast for one another for resolution to our marriages and our lives. Every Wed. we can check in and let our fellow prayer warriors know we have prayed for the group. Prayer does mighty things and group prayer is even better. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matt 18:20.

I will be entering the prayer post on Sundays so everyone has an opportunity to check in and to add their own personal prayer request if they want to/need to. Then on Wed. we can check in, hit the "Post Reply" button, and enter "Amen".

I think it will be great to see how God works in our lives and heals our marriages and us. If you want to pray with us I will be more than happy to add your name to the list below.

The Power of Praying Wife

Chapter Twenty-Seven – His Obedience

If you clearly observe your husband walking down a wrong path, should you say something? If so, how much should you say and when is the right time to say it? The best way I found to proceed is to take it to God first and weigh it on His scales. He may instruct you to just be quiet and pray. But if he does direct you to speak to your husband about the matter, there will be a far greater chance of him hearing God’s voice somewhere in your words if you’ve prayed before you speak. Anything perceived as nagging will be counterproductive and better left unsaid. Praying that his eyes will be opened to the truth and his heart convicted will be far more effective than you telling him what to do. You can encourage him to do what’s right and pray for him to do what’s right, but ultimately it’s God’s voice who will have the greatest impact.

No man can receive all God has for him if he is not living in obedience. Jesus, who was never once to beat around the bush, said “If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments” (Matthew 9:17). He knew that nothing would give a man more peace and confidence than knowing he is doing what God wants him to do. God’s Word promises that by being obedient to His ways your husband will find mercy (Psalm 25:10), peace (Psalm 37:37), happiness (Proverbs 29:18), plenty (Proverbs 21:5), blessings (Luke 11:28) and life (Proverbs 21:21). Not living in obedience brings harsh consequences (Proverbs 15:10), unanswered prayers (Proverbs 28:9) and the inability to enter the great things God has for him (1 Corinthians 6:9).

Walking in obedience has to do not only with keeping God’s commandments, but also with heeding God’s specific instructions. For example, if God has instructed your husband to rest and he doesn’t do it, that’s disobedience. If he has told him to stop doing a certain type of work and he keeps doing it, that’s disobedience. If he has told him to move to another place and he doesn’t move, that’s disobedience, too.

A man who does what God asks, builds his house on a rock. When the rain, floods and wind come and beat down on the house, it won’t fall (Matthew 7:24-27). You don’t want to witness the downfall of your house because of your husband’s disobedience in any area. While it’s not your place to be either his mother or his gestapo, it is your job to pray and speak after you’ve gotten your orders from God.

If your husband’s disobedience to God’s way has already brought down your house in some manner, know that God will honor your obedience and He will see that you will not be destroyed. He will pour his blessings on you and restore what has been lost. Just keep praying that your husband not have a hearing problem when it comes to the voice of God, and that he has the strength, courage, and motivation to act on what he hears.

PRAYER

Lord, You have said in Your Word that if we regard iniquity in our hearts, You will not hear (Psalm 66:18). I want You to hear my prayers, so I ask You to reveal where there is any disobedience in my life, especially with regard to my husband. Show me if I’m selfish, unloving, critical, angry, resentful, unforgiving, or bitter toward him. Show me where I have not obeyed You or lived Your way. I confess it as sin and ask for Your forgiveness.

I pray that You would give (husband’s name) a desire to live in obedience to Your laws and Your ways. Reveal and uproot anything he willingly gives place to that is not of You. Help him to bring every thought and action under Your control. Remind him to do good, speak evil of no one, and be peaceable, gentle, and humble (Titus 3:1,2). Teach him to embrace the stretching pain of discipline and discipleship. Reward him according to his righteousness and according to the cleanness of his hands (Psalm 18:20). Show him Your ways, O Lord; teach him Your path. Lead him in Your truth, for you are the God of his salvation (Psalm 25:4,5).

Make him a praising person, for I know that when we worship You we gain clear understanding, our lives are transformed, and we receive power to live Your way. Help him to hear Your specific instructions to him and enable him to obey them. Give him a heart that longs to do Your will and may he enjoy the peace that can only come from living in total obedience to Your commands. AMEN!

My prayers are with you all.

If I could ask again that you also pray for my wife, and all those who feel betrayed and/or unloved by their spouse.

While I am doing well, the same cannot be said for my wife. She is still unable to accept that my PA is over, and is finding it impossible to move on (or to forgive). She is completely convinced that I love the OW more than I love her, even though I have broken all contact with the OW because I want to repair our marriage.

This inability to forgive or move on worries me - especially since she is now expecting our first child. I know God has a plan, and whatever it is that plan is good. I also know that I must be strong and trust in Him, but there are times when I find doing that so difficult.

Last night, she saw something on the news about Bill Clinton's book, and flew into a rage because he didn't get "punished" enough for what he did (and worse is making money from talking about it), and asserted that neither have I.

I just want to find a way to help her be happy again.

Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God Bless,
Richard

To all prayer warriors, Today is my 25th anniversary, please pray for my marriage. As most of you know H has moved out and into his own apartment. This makes this day very difficult for me, and maybe for him too. Pray God will continue to comfort us and bless us. Pray that Gods will be done in all of our lives. Pray God will renew this marriage into a Christ centered one. Pray God will use this trial to help others. Pray that Gods love will over flow through me into others. In Jesus name I pray amen.

Father,

Thank you for the love and patience that Richard has for his wife as she struggles with forgiveness.

I pray that you will give her a revelation of your mercy and forgiveness toward her, and that she will likewise choose to forgive him.

Let Richard be gentle with her, and respond with words and actions of love when she is hurting. Give him insight into what he might say or do to help her heal.

Amen.


I was just reading the prayer above, and I ask that you would help me to know if there is something I can say to my husband concerning his path, that will help him to see the truth of his condition. Better yet, Father, speak to his heart. Our house has fallen, but you can restore it, You know his ways and you can heal him. Show him that there is hope for a happy life with you, if he turns away from his own path, and does what is right. That you want to bless him, but that he is standing in the way of the good things you have for him. That his way is not working, but that you can turn everything around in a heartbeat. Give him a revelation of your love for him (and mine).

Shul

Amen!

Thanks very much for putting us in your prayers this week. I would love to be a part of such an awesome group of brothers and sisters in Christ, as ya'll pray for others and each other. Thanks again your sister in Christ Trina

God Bless!

Amen to all the prayer requests above.

Also could you pray for my family? My grandfather died last night. It is in some ways a relief as he was becoming more and more incapable, but it is still sad.
