2nd Annual "S.H.M.I.L.Y. for 30 Days of Prayer" is coming!

May 11, 2010 in Uncategorized by Amy Verlennich | 1 comment

It’s hard to believe how different life was just a year ago… our life was in a state of turmoil and the future was uncertain from day to day…  through a series of events and the economy, we’d lost our business and we were slowly and painfully losing everything else as well.  You can read more about that by reading my post from last year, DAY 13: HIS TRIALS

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!

Day 9: people that need the mailers

March 30, 2010 in Uncategorized by Amy Verlennich | Permalink

Dear Heavenly Father, The mailers have went out and people are talking… but Lord, You know who needs to be at the service on Sunday, and so I pray for You to get those mailers into those hands again… whether it be the people who have already seen them, or someone new.  Bring it to their attention again… have someone mention it… do whatever it takes Lord to get the people there.

Use us Lord…
In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Day 8: My husband

March 28, 2010 in Uncategorized by Amy Verlennich | Permalink

Dear Heavenly Father, There is so much going on in our life right now… but we know that nothing comes as a surprise to You… and that You are still in control in the midst of our chaos.  I’m amazed at the road we’ve walked together to bring us here.  I never would have imagined us to be where we’re at… and yet, I can’t imagine us being anywhere else now. 

Today I pray for the man You blessed me to share life with and pray for You to protect his health and his mind this week as he continues to prepare for this Sunday.  There is so much going on and he’s so excited for what You’re going to do for Easter!  Guard his heart Lord… I pray that others will see his passion for You and be moved closer to You because of it.

Be with Him Lord… and guide him as He follows You…

Use us Lord…
In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Day 7: childrens' programming

March 27, 2010 in Uncategorized by Amy Verlennich | Permalink

Dear Heavenly Father, Kids are such a crucial part of the church… they are the future and how they feel about church will determine how they choose to live… Lord, I pray that You will guide me as I prepare for the Easter service with the kids.  It’s not as I would have had it be now that room we’ll be in isn’t as we’d originally planned.  Please help me to adjust and make it great and fun!

Lord, I also pray for You to supply all the needs for the kids’ programming in the future as well.  There are many hands needed to make it a success and we know that You will provide everyone, not only to help, but also the money to buy items as well.

We have big plans for the kids Lord, and can’t wait for them to eXperience Your love in a BIG way!

Use us Lord…
In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
