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 Nineteen � His Past

The past should not be a place where we live, but something from which we learn. We are to forget �Those things which are behind� and reach �forward to those things which are ahead,� and we�re to �press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus� (Philippians 3:13,14). God is a redeemer and a restorer. We need to allow Him to be both. He can redeem the past and restore what was lost. He can make up for the bad things that have happened (Psalm 90:15). We must trust Him to do those things. We can never move out of the present into the future of what God has for us if we cling to and live in the past.

Your husband�s past not only affects him, it affects your offspring as well. More is passed down to your children and grandchildren than just the color of your hair and eyes. We can leave a legacy as painful and damaging as the one we experiences ourselves. We can bequeath a heritage of divorce, anger, anxiety, depression, and fear, to name a few. Whatever you and your husband can free yourselves from will mean more freedom for them. As long as you dwell in the past, you not only lose some of what God has for your future, but for you children�s future as well.

The events of your husband�s past that most affect his life today probably occurred in his childhood. Bad things that happened or good things that didn�t happen with family member are the most significant. Being labeled in a certain way by a relative or peer carries over into adulthood. Such words as �fat,� �stupid,� �uncoordinated,� �failure,� �poor,� �loser,� �slob,� �four-eyes,� �slow,� or �idiot� take their toll and imprint themselves into the mind and emotions well into adulthood. While no one can pretend the past didn�t happen, it�s possible to pray that all the effects of it are removed. No one is destined to live with them forever.

God says we are to cry out for deliverance, walk in His ways, proclaim His truth, and then we will find freedom from our past. But sometimes there are levels of freedom to go through. Your husband may think he�s gotten free of something and it will rear it head again, leaving him feeling like he�s right back where he started. Tell him not to be discouraged by that. If he has been walking with the Lord, he is probably moving into a deeper level of liberty that God wants to work in his life. Your prayers will surely gird him for the journey to greater freedom.

Being free from the past can happen quickly or it can be a step-by-step process, depending on what God is teaching. The problem is, you can�t make it happen on your timetable. You have to be patient and pray for as long as it takes to keep the voices of the past at bay so that your husband can make the decision to not listen to them.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that you will enable (husband�s name) to let go of his past completely. Deliver him from any hold it has on him. Help him to put off his former conduct and habitual ways of thinking about it and be renewed in his mind (Ephesians 4:22, 23). Enlarge his understanding to know that You make all things new (Revelation 21:5). Show him a fresh, Holy Spirit-inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. Give him the mind of Christ so that he can clearly discern Your voice from the voices of the past. When he hears those old voices, enable him to rise up and shut them down with the truth of your Word. Where he has formerly experienced rejection or pain, I pray he not allow them to color what he sees an hears now. Pour forgiveness into his heart so that bitterness, resentment, revenge, and unforgiveness will have no place there. May he regard the past as only a history lesson and not a guide for his daily life. Wherever his past has become and unpleasant memory, I pray You would redeem it and bring life out of it. Bind up his wounds (Psalm 147:3). Restore his soul (Psalm 23:3). Help him to release the past so that he will not live in it, but learn from it, break out of it, and move into the future you have for him. AMEN!

Chapter 19 - Her Obedience

You get the most wonderful feeling when you know that you have just obeyed God and it pleases Him. It�s seeing that, when you do things God�s way, the right way, life works. That feeling keeps you coming back and trying harder, because you just want to do whatever it takes to experience it.

The greatest thing we feel when we obey God is a deeper sense of His presence. That�s because there is a link between obedience and our experience of the presence of God. Jesus said, �If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him� (John 14:23). He manifests Himself to those who love and obey Him. So often we sacrifice the fullness of His presence on a regular basis. She wants to experience the thrilling sense of God�s pleasure when she has obeyed Him. She needs you to pray that she will consistently be able to live God�s way.

One of the consequences for disobedience is not getting your prayers answered (Proverbs 28:9, Psalm 66:18). You don�t want your wife to neglect some of the rules and not get her prayers answered. Pray for the eyes of her understanding to be enlightened so that she is clear about the rules of the game.

One of the most common ways women can be disobedient is with our speech.
- We are not to be too quick to speak. �Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him� (Proverbs 29:20).
- We are not to say everything we feel, when we feel like it. A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back.� (Proverbs 29:11).
- Our words can destroy people. �death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit� (Proverbs 18:21).
- Timing is everything. �The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil� (Proverbs 15:28).

Most women love to talk. That�s because nearly any woman is overflowing with thoughts, feelings, emotions, revelations, insights, hurts, and joys, and it feels as if she will burst if she does not share them with someone.

Communication is a woman�s greatest joy. It can also be one of her greatest assets. By her speech alliances are formed, emotions are healed, knowledge is imparted, relationships are restored, mysteries are unraveled, and world problems are solved. She loves to talk things out. Show me a woman who will not talk, and I�ll show you a woman who has had people in her life who never listened to what she had to say.

Every woman is well aware of the power of her words and what a long-lasting effect they can have (after all, a wife remembers things her husband said years ago, which he forgot 30 seconds afterwards). She agonizes over words she has spoken if she thinks they may have hurt someone. If she says something that is interpreted differently than what she intended, or if she speaks too harshly to her children or to a friend, she has deep regrets�.Your wife needs your prayers that God will create in her a clean heart and give her words that edify and bring life. She needs discernment from God about what to say and when to say it. And she needs to recognize when its time to keep silent.

No woman wants to be a complainer, but in her attempt to make life good for her husband, her children, herself, and others, she often sees things that are wrong and tries to change them with her words. If you ever find your wife saying the same thing over and over to you out of frustration of her heart, pray with her about it. And she�ll feel relieved knowing that you have committed it to God. Se may even stop talking about it.

Speaking words that bring life is only one of many areas of obedience. Your wife wants you to pray that she will be able to do well in all of them�.Pray for her to hear that wonderful sound of God�s voice saying, �Well done, good and faithful servant.�

He Says � By Michael Omartian
God makes it clear that our obedience to Him is vitally important to our spiritual health. He says that it�s better than sacrifice. One of the most comforting things in my marriage is to know that my wife is walking in obedience to God. With that obedience comes a settled peace not only for my wife, but which gives a sense of well-being to our entire family. I know it inspires our children as well to walk in obedience to God. God can speak profoundly into each of our lives and give us a sense of purpose when we seek Him and walk in obedience to what He wants. I pray for my wife to forsake anything that stands in the way of her obeying God. Not only do I want to pray that for her, but I want to personally model that to her as well.

Prayer Power
Lord, I pray that You would enable (wife's name) to live in total obedience to Your laws and Your ways. Help her to see where her thoughts and actions are not lined up with Your directions as to how she is to live. Help her to hear Your instructions, and give her the desire to do what You ask. Remind her to confess any errors quickly, and enable her to take the steps of obedience she needs to take.
I know that one of the consequences for not living in obedience to Your ways is a sense of distance from You. Keep my wife from doing anything that separates her from the fullness of Your presence and Your love. Show her where she is not living in obedience, and help her to do what she needs to do. Your Word says, "He who obeys instruction guards his life" (Proverbs 19:16 NIV). Bless her mind, emotions, and will as she takes steps of obedience. Give her confidence that comes from knowing she has just obeyed You.
Lord, You have said that, "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34 NIV). Fill my wife's heart with Your love, peace, and joy this day so that it overflows in her words. May Your Spirit control her tongue so that everything she speaks brings life. Help her to say as David did, "I have resolved that my mouth will not sin" (Psalm 17:3 NIV).
Lord, You Word says, "No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly" (Psalm 84:11). I pray that my wife will walk uprightly and that You will pour out Your blessings upon her. Especially bless her with the peace and long life You speak of in Your Word (Proverbs 3:1,2). I pray this day that my wife will walk in obedience to You and that You will reward her with an abundance of good things. Let the words of her mouth and the meditation of her heart be always acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer (Psalm 19:14).
Amen.
