Prayer Challenge Day 1

Let's get this challenge started! Today, lets pray for

December Prayer Challenge

Hello dear you!

This December is going to be amazing! I love Christmas; the traditions, gifts and the celebration of hope. I'm also very excited to be blogging during this wonderful month. I have tons of ideas!

One thing I'm going to do is a Prayer Challenge.

Most of us are  lucky to spend "the most wonderful time in the year" inside warm houses surrounded by families. And of course our tummies are full of delicious Christmas food. 

But too many people aren't so lucky. Many don't even know what Christmas is. They don't know about the hope.

That's why I decided to create the Prayer Challenge. During the whole month I'm going to post a prayer request/theme EVERY DAY. And I really hope you'll take part! There will also be practical tips on how to help.

If you have any questions about the Prayer Challenge you can email me: iammrskblog@gmail.com

The power of a praying wife

I started reading this book:

I just finished the first chapter, and I got to say, this book seems to be amazing. Omartian writes honestly about the challenges she and her husband have had and how God saved their marriage. Even after just one chapter, the book has made me think about my role as a wife.

Here are couple things Omartian writes in the first chapter:

- It's not always easy to pray for your husband. He can hurt you by being inconsiderate and uncaring. He can also irritate you.

- If you want to be a wife who wants to do right (not be right) and give life instead of get even, pray for your husband.

- "In every broken marriage, there is at least one person whose heart is against God." And because of this, the big picture gets blurred. The big picture is that GOD CAN HEAL YOUR MARRIAGE. There's always hope. And God is willing to restore your dead marriage.

I will end this post with Michael Omartian's words:

"I can think of no better way to truly love your husband than lifting him up in prayer on a consistent basis." 

2013 Prayer

Dear God,

Thank You for the year 2012. It was a year of joy and a year of grief. Thank You for making me stronger, and making me see  things more deeply. Thank You for never leaving my side.

I'm asking you to be with me trough the year 2013. Let the year 2013 be a year filled with your glory. I ask that you'll use me, so more people would know how loving you are. Bless me Lord so I can be a blessing.

Amen.
