Day 1 - Power of a Praying Wife

For the next 30 days I will go through the Power of a Praying Wife book by Stormie Omartian and include parts of the prayers from that book. The prayers are pretty lengthy so I will shorten them for the purpose of these posts. If you have never read this book or haven't read it in awhile, I encourage you to read it for the first time or read it again. It's an awesome tool.
Day 1
Pray for His Wife (us)
The start of our 30 days of prayer for our hubands, is actually praying for us! What do I need prayer for when he's the problem??? Just kidding, however I'm sure all of us can admit we have been there in that mindset. But seriously let's pray for some things to change in us:
  • help me to be a good wife - self-less, patient, kind, loving, etc.
  • expose any sin in my heart toward my husband. help me to forgive him the way you forgive me.
  • help me create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to.
  • help me to look to you for fulfillment and not to my husband.
  • stir up the love in me for my husband - where love has died, create new love between us.
  • enable my husband to be the head of the home as you made him to be and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership.
  • give me a fresh perspective, a positive outlook and a renewed relationship with the man you have given me.

In Jesus Name, Amen!
