purpose

this is an online prayer journal chronicling the prayers i pray for my husband - using stormie omartian's model in her book power of a praying wife. each day she designates a topic to focus on in prayer for my husband and includes bible verses which she refers to as "power tools". i started this about a week ago and have already seen the benefits of actively interceeding for my man. in this blog i will include pictures, verses, links to helpful sources, prayers, and my daily prayer + meditational thoughts for the daily prayer. my hope is that when i send my man out the door for the day, i send him out with the blessing and the blood of jesus upon him. i take my motivation from proverbs 31 and also titus 2:4 (admonish the young women to love their husbands).

in a bible study that i have joined this summer we have been reading through and discussing elizabeth george's woman after god's own heart. one of the ways she encourages wives to bless their husbands, thereby building a home and watching over their home, is praying faithfully for their husbands. she says to pray:

before you speak in the morning;

any time he is home;

before he returns home;

throughout the evening;

on the way to the phone (it could be him);

when you are arriving home and he is already there. (pg. 94)

so this blog is a blend of these two women's encouraging and convicting words of wisdom and my own personal response to be the best wife to my husband that i can be.
