I can barely remember those feelings of despair… but I know they were there… but I smile now as I think about what God’s done in the past year… and it’s really amazing to me that while I was losing everything a year ago, I’m packing to move (again) into a new and bigger place that God has truly blessed us with (again). Through all the changes, one thing hasn’t… the need to cover my husband in prayer…
Showing our husbands how much we love them can also come in ways they may not see or even be aware of…
Covering your husband in prayer is so important, and regardless of where your marriage is right now (great, okay, or falling apart)… this event is to simply make sure that your man is being prayed for every day for a month… regardless of how YOU feel. (And might I add, that if things are really bad, that this is a great time to do this! When my marriage was falling apart years ago, and my husband and I were ready to divorce, I came across this book, and it not only changed my marriage… but it changed me as well!)
WHAT YOU’LL NEED: “The Power of a Praying Wife” by Stormie OMartian. (You can use the “older” version as well.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Read a chapter a day, which includes a prayer. (Even if you’ve read this book before, you can just do the prayers and skip the reading… the point is for you to PRAY!)
FYI: I will be sending out some messages through facebook… To stay updated, join SHMILY Time on facebook! (We are in the process of moving so I may not be online each day, but I WILL be praying…) You can also leave links to your blog post for each day (that pertains to the topic). Please spread the word to others and join the event! Click the following link to sign up through facebook and see how many women are joining… S.H.M.I.L.Y. for 30 days of prayer…
THE POINT: To get wives praying for their husbands… that’s it! Doesn’t matter what the background, denomination of faith (or lack there of), or current state your life is in… Let’s get those hubbies covered in prayer and stand back and expect great things to happen to them, our marriages, and even ourselves as we petition God on their behalf!
SPECIAL NOTE: We’ve had not only married women sign up for this event, but also women separated praying for reconciliation, and divorced, widowed and single women wanting to pray for their husband to be!
