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 Twenty – His Attitude

No one wants to be around a person with a bad attitude. Life is hard enough without listening to someone constantly complaining in your ear. I know a man who is so in the habit of being angry and miserable that it is his first reaction to everything – even good news. When great things happen, he finds something to be upset about. Unfortunately, this was modeled to him as a child, so it was probably a learned response. Perhaps no one ever showed him how to enjoy life. But allowing the past to control today is still a choice he makes. Because of that, not only will he never be happy, but neither will those around him. We don’t want to be that kind of person, nor do we want to live with one.

An angry, dour, unforgiving, negative person can get that way for various reasons. He stays that way because of a stubborn will that refuses to receive God’s love. The Bible says we have a choice as to what we will allow into our heart (Psalm 101:4), and whether we will harden it to the love of God or not (Proverbs 28:14). We choose our attitude. We choose to receive the love of the Lord. We permit an attitude of thankfulness to rise in us.

If your husband allows himself to wallow in a consistently bad attitude, it will make a good marriage miserable, and a shaky marriage intolerable. A habit of responding negatively will adversely affect every aspect of his life. Or course you can’t rule over your husband’s will, but you can pray that his will lines up with God’s. Pray that his heart becomes pure, because the Bible promises a person who has a pure heart will see God (Matthew 5:8) and a cheerful countenance (Proverbs 15:13). (Who doesn’t wish her husband could see God and have a cheerful countenance?) Pray for his heart to be filled with praise, thanksgiving, love and joy, because “a good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things” (Matthew 12:35). Even if there are major changes immediately, he is certain to be softened by your prayers. And that, at least, can give you a better attitude while you wait for his to improve.

PRAYER

Lord, fill (husband’s name) with Your love and peace today. May there be a calmness, serenity, and sense of well-being established in him because of his God-controlled, rather than flesh-controlled. Enable him to walk in his house with a clean and perfect heart before You (Psalm 101:2). Shine the light of Your Spirit upon him and fill him with Your Love.

I pray that he will be kind and patient, not selfish or easily provoked. Enable him to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things (1 Corinthians 13:7). Release him from anger, unrest, anxiety, concerns, inner turmoil, strife, and pressure. May he not be broken in spirit because of sorrow (Proverbs 15:13), but enjoy the continual feast of a merry heart (Proverbs 15:15). Give him a spirit of joy and keep him from growing into a grumpy old man. Help him to be anxious for nothing, but give thanks in all things so he can know the peace that passes all understanding. May he come to the point of saying, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content” (Philippians 4:11). I say to (husband’s name) this day, “The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26). AMEN!

Fellow Prayer Warriors,

Today has been far from easy. The dark one is at work again - my wife does not believe that I can be in a meeting at work for over an hour (as happened this morning).

Lord,

Help all prayer warriors in this group. May they grow in understanding of your path for their lives. May they learn to trust, where trust is appropriate.

Amen

Just checking in. I've been feeling down today. I'll be praying for you all.
Lunadove

I too will be praying for all of you. I purchased and read the entire "Power of a Praying Husband" last night and would highly recommend it. May God bless all of you and heal your hearts.

Amen

Lord,

Teach us to pray. Teach us to know what to pray.

Teach us to hear Your Voice and follow You. Teach us to walk in YOUR Spirit. Teach us to listen for that still, small voice.

Give us YOUR Mind. Give us an extra anointing of Your love. Teach us Your Perfect Love, and how to be an example of it in our everyday lives.

Father God, help us grow in grace and knowledge of Your Word. Let us be living, breathing, walking examples of Your Living Word everywhere we go this week.

Praise You, Father, for Your love to us. Praise You for loving us and giving Your Son for us.

We seek to love You back. We are weak, we fall short, we fail You. But we want to Please You, and we want to become more Christlike. Help us, Father.

Amen.

AMEN!

Checking in and praying for you all today.

God Bless!!!

Just want to let everyone know that I am still praying for everyone! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Things are going pretty good right now. Not exactly everything I want, but enough for me to still hang on. What I wouldn't do to be openly affectionate with my husband. I would love to be able to kiss him whenever he comes home or leaves, or just tell him I love him. I still feel like just a roomate! <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

I am scared, so I can only give it to God and let him take care of it.

I thank God for everything that I do have though, and will continue working on the marriage God wants me to have. Surely this won't last forever! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I guess I am just afraid of the rejection or I'd try it!

Who knew saying ILY would eventually become so hard to do!
