In this chapter the book talks about your husband's purpose and how you cannot pressure him or talk him into finding his purpose. This is something that only God can reveal to him. I believe that at some point God may ask you to speak to him about it but it needs to be the right timing and it really needs to be from God so that your husband will be open to receive. So many times I have been guilty of saying things out of my own fleshly desire, rather than waiting on God. I wanted to say it, so I said it. Let's just say it didn't go over very well but that is another story.
We all need to find our purpose and what God has called us to do. It's so much more than just existing from day to day. Not that your purpose has to be full time ministry...you can have a full time ministry at your job by talking to a friend about Jesus, helping people in need, etc.
If you don't feel your husband has quite found his purpose, pray that God leads him into what he has called him to do. Pray that he doesn't stray into areas that are not beneficial to his walk with God. Pray that you have the strength to support him. Pray that your husband has boldness. And as always, pray that he hears God's voice and the voice of a stranger he won't follow. Pray that he grows in his faith.
If your husband is fulfilling his purpose, pray that he has the strength to continue. Pray that he hears God's voice and he follows His will above all else. Pray that you continually support his calling. Pray that the enemy has no room in your lives and your husband casts down discouragement and things that might side track him. Pray that his relationship continually grows and does not become stagnant.

There is so much truth in this advice. Whether it be a husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, or sister it most certainly applies to someone in our lives - maybe even ourselves.
Thank you for sharing!
