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 a Praying Wife

Chapter 12 – His Protection

How many times have we heard stories about men who were on the battlefield and at the very moment when they were in the greatest danger, they experienced some miraculous deliverance, only to learn later that someone back home was praying at that same moment? Our husbands are on the battlefield every day. There are dangers everywhere. Only God knows what traps the enemy has laid to bring accidents, diseases, evil, violence, and destruction into our lives. Few places are completely safe anymore, including your own home. But God has said that even though “the wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him, the Lord will not leave him in his hand” (Psalm 37:32, 33). He promises that He will be “a shield to those who put their trust in Him” (Proverbs 30:5). He can even be a shield to someone we pray about because of our faith.

I have always prayed for my husband and children to be safe while traveling in cars. But one morning I got a call from Michael shortly after he left the house to take our young son to school. “We’ve just had an accident,” he said, “but Christopher and I are fine”.
I drove immediately to where they were, thanking God all the way for protecting them just as I had prayed for years. When I arrived and saw the condition of the car, I completely fell apart. Michael’s little sports car, which I was never thrilled about his driving, had been broadsided by a much larger car and pushed into a concrete barrier at the side of the road. There was so much destruction to the little car that it was later considered a total loss by the insurance company. The only way to explain whye neither of them were hurt had to be the protecting hand of God. They did have bruises on their chests and shoulders from the seat belts, but they could have been injured far worse or even killed. I firmly believe that the Lord answered my prayers for protection on my family. (I’m still waiting for Him to answer the ones about my husband not buying any more sports cars.)

My prayer group and I regularly pray for our husbands to be safe in planes, cars, the workplace, or walking down the street. We don’t even have to think of all the specific dangers, we just ask the Lord to protect them from harm. God promises to “give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone” (Psalm 91:11, 12). But accidents do happens, even to godly people, and when they do they are sudden and unexpected. That’s why prayer for your husband’s protection needs to be frequent and ongoing. You never know when it might be needed in the battlefield. And if something happens, you’ll have the comfort of knowing you’ve invited God’s presence and power into the midst of it.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would protect (husband’s name) from any accidents, diseases, dangers or evil influences. Keep him safe, especially in cars and planes. Hide him from violence and the plans of evil people. Wherever he walks, secure his steps. Keep him on Your path so that his feet don’t slip (Psalm 17:5). If his foot does slip, hold him up by Your mercy (Psalm 94:18). Give him the wisdom and discretion that will help him walk safely and not fall into danger (Proverbs 3:21-23). Be his fortress, strength, shield and stronghold (Psalm 18:2,3). Make him to dwell in the shadow of Your wings (Psalm 91:1-2). Be his rock, salvation, and defense, so that he will not be moved or shaken (Psalm 62:6). I pray that even though bad things may be happening all around him, they will not come near him (Psalm 91:7). Save him from any plans of the enemy to seek to destroy his life (Psalm 103:4). Preserve his going out and his coming in from this time forth and even forevermore (Psalm 121:8). AMEN!

Chapter 12 - HER FEARS

When the power and presence of fear outweighs our assurance of the power and presence of God, we can become tormented by a spirit of fear.

The opposite of fear is faith- something we all could use more of in our lives. But getting from fear to faith is a lot harder to do when fear has become a controlling factor. That's why a person who has been overtaken by fear needs prayer. Yor=ur prayers for your wife can help her recognize that fear does not come from God(2 Timothy 1:7), and that the perfect love of God removes fear from her soul(1John 4:18).

The bible says to "watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"( Matthew 26:41). If your wife has something she considers to be a constant struggle, a weakness of her flesh, or temptation in her life, she needs you to pray with her that God will give her strength to resist it and be set free.

Too often woman carry burdens in their lives that are far heavier than their delicate shoulders were created to bear. Remember, no matter how strong your wife appears to be, she is fragile. Even though a woman may appear strong to the point of hardness, it's usually because she felt she had to be for one reason or another.

Often woman struggle with deeply wanting certain things to happen, yet having to wait such a discouragingly long time for prayers about those things to be answered. Pray that your wofe can sdd her struggles and fears as an opportunity to depend on God in a greater way. Pray that she will be content with her life and be able to trust that God has her where she is for a purpose.

Fear that prompts us to pray is beneficial. Fear that parlalyzes and torments is destructive. Don't allow fear in your wife to keep her from moving into all God has for her.

PRAYER
Lord, I pray that you would help (wifes name) to "be anxious for nothing" ( Phillippians 4:6). Remind her to bring all her concerns to You in prayer so that Your peace that passes all understanding will permanently reside in her heart. Specifically I pray about (anything that causes your wife to have fear). I ask You to set her free from that fear and comfort her this day.

Teach me to recognize the ploy of the enemy of the enemy every time he tries to steal life from my wife by bringing fear to torment her. I stand against any enemy attacks targeted at my wife, and I say that a spirit of fear will have no place in her life. Strengthen her faith in You, Lord, to be her defender.

I pray that (wifes name) will not be tormented by the fear of man. Enable her to rise above the criticism of others and be delivered from fear of their opinions. May her only concern be with pleasing You. I say to my wife, "Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might" (Ephesians 6:10). " In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you" (Isaiah 54:14). Enable my wife to rise up and say, " The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)

Lord, give (wifes name) strength to stand strong in the midst of the tough times of her life. Sustain her with Your presence so that nothing will shake her. Enable her to rise above the things that challenge her. Specifically I lift up to You (wifes greatest need,weakness, struggle, or temptation). Help her to separate herself from that which tempts her. I say to (wifes name) that "no temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able , but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). " Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart" (Psalms 27:14). Lord, enable my wife to endure temptation and receive the crown of life which You have promised to those who love You ( James 1:12).

Give my wife patience while she is waiting for her prayers to be answered and for all things to be accomplished. Help her to wait upon You instead of waiting for things to change. Cause her to fear only You and to be content where she is this moment, knowing that You will not leave her forever. Perfect her in Your "perfect love" that "casts out fear", so that fear has no room in her soul ( 1 John 4:18) .
Amen.

NTWBTWDB,

I will be praying for you.

Please keep my BIL in your prayers. He is going to court tomorrow, Wednesday. Pray that the judge has mercy on him. Thanks.

Pray that I won't lose hope. Very difficult week (two days) I wanted to throw in the towel. Only things working in my life (and these are by no means small things). They are my relationship with with God and my relationship with my children. Both could use improving though. My relationship with my W and my employer are almost gone <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

I will keep you all in my prayers.

Father, help NMWBTWBD with his financial situation. Enable him to be a good stewart with his finances.

Father, watch over ST's BIL when he is court. We know that You alone provide ultimate mercy. Enlighten the judge to act in Your behalf towards Your son.

Peace,
ttsmm

Please pray for my family - again - I just can't seem to pray enough. The Lord is working in my husband's life and I just pray that He continues - that the day he comes home is soon. I love my husband with all of my heart and want nothing more than my marriage to be restored and God to be in the center of it. Bless my family and bless my husband - give him a clear understanding that the Lord loves him and will be there for him when he does come home. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen

Checking in to say that I am praying for you all.

May God bless each and every one of you and may He start bringing our prodigals home VERY soon!!!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please bless all of these prayer warriors today. Give them all a sense of peace, a little more understanding and comfort in times of trouble. Place them in your tender loving arms and continue to love them unconditionally. We know your word will not come back void and we await your promises to us all, especially the one final promise that Jesus will return for us and take us to your glorious kingdom. Amen.

Just checking in to let you all know you are thought of and prayed for daily--but especially on Wednesdays. I usually pray for you'all when I drive to work and when I drive home. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Creator of angel's wings. Thank you for NMWBTBD (he's such a special man), and thank you for providing for him before we even ask. Thank you for his puppies--they love him very much. Thank you for the wise judge at StandingTogether's BIL's court hearing today. Thank you for giving the judge your wisdom and your justice. Thank you for sending ministering angels to TTSMM and filling him with your peace. Thank you for encouraging him and lifting him gently into your loving presence. Thank you for working in your way in the hearts of lunadove's and allmylove's husbands. Thank you that you love those men so much that you would go to such great lengths to bring them to you. Thank you for giving each one of us the privilege of suffering so that we might grow closer to you and more spiritually mature.

Abba, tonight I have a special request--give me your joy tomorrow on what would have been my anniversary. Let me enjoy the love of my children, the pleasant friendship of my co-workers, and the ecstatic energy of my pets. Bring me the Joy that is only known by knowing You.

Thanks


AMEN
