~About Us~
Hello Ladies,
I am very excited about the things I know God is going to do in us and our husbands as
we began this study ... Please read the information provided here and be prepared
to email me a brief description of yourself and your family. (Ladies, I would like to
have this by Wednesday, the 19th) We are adding the finishing touches to the
website and we will be corresponding to the each other through the website and
email, and occasionally on a toll-free conference line. I pray that we will all
seek God's direction as we move forward in this study.
I pray that you all are as excited as I am ... if all goes well we will be getting started on
Sunday, November 24, 2008. The chapters are short but we will read and recite the
prayers at the end of each chapter EVERYDAY for the week. This will allow us to
allow the words and the scriptures time to get in us ... this is a 30 week book but we
are in NO hurry ... we will try to stick with the plan but we know things happen,
holidays, family events and we will work around those things but we want to stay
focus and allow this to be a good and beneficial study so that God can be lifted up
and glorified in our lives and the lives of our husbands and our children... Be
blessed and Trust God for his abundant graces ~ our divine enablement.....
If you have any questions, please contact me at any time ... bls2b1ofhis@gmail.com or
bls2b1ofhis@yahoo.com or 919-995-9248.....
The Power of a Praying Wife
Prayer and Study Guide
How Do I Begin?
Welcome to this great adventure of becoming a praying wife. Don't worry if you
have mixed emotions during this process. We all do. It may not be easy, but it will
be rewarding. That's because prayer works.
What You'll Need
This prayer and study guide is divided into a 30 week plan for use in personal or
group study. You will need to have the book, The Power of a Praying Wife. You
will need a bible. Make sure the Bible is one you are not hesitant to write in.
About Your Answers
The questions in this study are sometimes very personal, and your answers should
be completely honest. Therefore, keep this book in a private place. If the answers
you need to write down are lengthy and have the potential to be hurtful to other
people, write them in a separate blank notebook that you can keep private or even
destroy later. Your answers are not for anyone else to read or for you to be tested
on. They are to help you see the truth and be able to think clearly about each area of
prayer focus. They will assist you in determining exactly what you and your
husband's prayer needs are, and they will show you to pray. Try to write something
for each question or direction, even if it's only one sentence.
How to Proceed
In group, it’s good to follow the order in this book so the group will have the
same focus when it comes together each week. In individual study, don't feel you
must continue in the same order if there are pressing issues you need to pray about
right away. In every instance, however, “The Power" and Chapter 1: "His Wife"
must be the first chapters read before proceeding.
In a Group (WE WILL NOT GO OVER EVERY QUESTION~ WE WILL HAVE
GENERAL DISCUSSIONS)
In group study, after you have read the appropriate chapter in The Power of a
Praying Wife book and answered the questions in this Prayer and Study Guide on
your own, the leader will bring the group together and go over each question to see
what insights God has given you and the other women as they feel led to share
them. Although you may or may not want to share personal information in the
group, please share what God is showing you and speaking to your heart when you
find this happening. It's good for you to say it, and it's helpful for other people to
hear.
For Clarity
When referring to God, the pronouns Him or He will be capitalized. When
referring to your husband; the pronouns him or he will not be capitalized.
How to Pray a Scripture
Frequently, you will be asked to write out a specific Scripture as a prayer over
your husband. To help you understand how to do that, I have included an example
of how I pray Ephesians 1:17-18 over your husband. Look it up in your
Bible, and then see what I have done below:
Lord, I pray that You, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will
give Michael the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, so that
the eyes of Michael's understanding will be enlightened; so that Michael will know
what is the hope of his calling, that Michael will know what are the riches of the glory of
Your inheritance in the saints.
What If My Husband Doesn't Know the Lord? (or is in a backslidden state)
The Bible says a husband and wife are one, and an unbelieving husband is
sanctified by the believing wife. Because of this, the wife of an unbelieving husband
can pray all the same prayers and speak the same Scriptures over him as a wife could
over a believing husband, and expect to see answers to prayer. The most important
and ongoing prayer, of course, is that your husband's eyes be opened to the truth of
God and he be led to receive Jesus as his Savior.
Your Role
Your role is to become an intercessor for your husband. An intercessor is one
who prays for someone else and makes possible the ability of that person to
respond to God. What a privilege to be used by God in that way!
