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.

We send out the prayer post on Mondays 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 we will be more than happy to add your name to the list below.

The Power Of A Praying Wife


Chapter Eight – His Purpose

Everyone has a purpose. It’s the reason we exist. It’s our life’s mission, objective, or plan. Generally, we’re here to glorify God and do His will. How that specifically translates in our lives is unique to each of us. Your husband needs to know the reason he exists. He needs to be sure his life is not just an accident, but that he’s here by design. He must be certain he was created for a great purpose. When he discovers that purpose, and is doing what he was created to do, becoming what he was created to be, he will find fulfillment. This can only contribute to your happiness as well.

If I’ve learned anything being married two and one half decades, it’s that a wife can’t put pressure on her husband to be something, but she can pray for him to become it. She can pray that he be molded according to God’s plan and not anyone else’s. Then, who he becomes will be determined by whether he hears God’s call on his life or not. For God has “called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began” (2 Timothy 1:9).

You can always tell when a man is not living in the purpose for which God created him. You sense his unrest. You get a feeling something is not quite right, even if you can’t put your fingers on what it is.

How do you feel about what your husband is doing with his life? Do you lack peace about it because he is on a path that’s unfulfilling, beating him down, or going nowhere? If so, then pray, “Lord, take my husband from this place, reveal to him what You’ve called him to be, and open doors to what he should be doing.”

Praying that way doesn’t mean your husband will be pulled out of what he’s doing and dropped into something else. It can happen that way, but often what takes place is a change in the man’s perspective.

Whatever God has called your husband to be or do, He has also called you to support it and be a part of it, if in no other way than to pray, encourage, and help in whatever way possible. For some women that means creating a good home, raising the children, being there for him, and offering prayer support. Other women may take an active role by becoming a partner or helper. In either case, God does not ask you to deny your own personhood in the process. God has called you to something, too. But it will fit in with whatever your husband’s calling is; it will not be in conflict with it. God is not the author of confusion, strife, or unworkable situations. He is a God of perfect timing. There is a time for everything, the Bible says. The timing to do what God has called each of you to do will work out perfectly, if it’s submitted to God.

Your prayers can help cast away discouragement and keep it from taking hold. It can help your husband to hear and cling to God’s revelation. It can cause him to live his life on purpose.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that (husband’s name) will clearly hear the call You have on his life. Help him to realize who he is in Christ and give him certainty that he was created for a high purpose. May the eyes of his understanding be enlightened so that he will know what is the hope of Your calling (Ephesians 1:18).

Lord, when You call us, You also enable us. Enable him to walk worthy of his calling and become the man of God You made him to be. Continue to remind him of what You’ve called him to and don’t let him get sidetracked with things that are unessential to Your purpose. Strike down discouragement so that it will not defeat him. Lift his eyes above the circumstances of the moment so he can see the purpose for which You created him. Give him patience to wait for Your perfect timing. I pray that the desires of his heart will not be in conflict with the desires of Yours. May he seek You for direction, and hear when You speak to his soul.

AMEN!

Hopeful,

Thanks for doing the posting for the weekly fast. May God reward you for doing it. There is something uplifting to the spirit when we read about our creation and the fact that God has a purpose for each and every one of us. I read what you posted from the book, and then said the prayer over myself. I can honestly say it made me "Hopeful" !!!

God Bless

At www.globalharvest.org go to and click on "The Prophetic". Then scroll down to "Book Excerpts". Click on "The Best is Yet Ahead-Hope Deferred", and read the article. I would hope it would give everyone a new desire to continue standing for what they have been praying and fasting for.

God Bless

Lord,

Thank you for being part of my life during this past week, through both good and bad events. Help my wife and I as we recover from my betrayal of our marriage vows. Shine your light also on the other prayer warriors, and everyone experiencing difficulties in their relationships. May they see your hand in their experiences, and walk along the path you have assigned for them.

Amen

AMEN!

I am praying and fasting with you all today.

May God continue to bless us and keep us focused on Him.

AMEN! I prayed for all of you yesterday. Hopeful, thank you for stepping out in faith to do this ministry. You will be blessed because of it! SG, that message from The Prophetic was very intense. I had almost given in to despair until I read that message yesterday. Boy, it was really what I needed to hear at that moment! It was like God was working through you to speak to me!

Thanks to Almighty God for sending His own & only son to save us from our sins! Hallalujah!!

One prayer request - Could you please pray for my husband & I? We have started our road to recovery as of last night! Thanks in advance!

LNC and Yvette,

We were made to help and to lift each other up. To share in each others burdens. Sometimes the weight of life can get us down for a while. The important thing is that we get going again. My blessings to you both!

God Bless
