Wives 30-day Prayer Challenge - Day 2


Welcome to day #2! Today the challenge is to pray for your husband's heart. When meditating on this topic, I realize that everyone does not have an equally-yoked marriage. Some of us have husbands whose hearts belong to the Lord and others are prayerful for a change of heart in their husbands. As we pray today, lets ask the Lord to take full control of our husband's hearts. Let's pray that the Holy Spirit will captivate them and that they will completely surrender to Jesus. Pray for evidence of a changed heart, mind and spirit.

The word "heart" also makes me think of passion. In what things is your husband passionate about? What gives him his fulfillment, joy and purpose? We can be praying that whatever moves him will be rooted and grounded in knowing and serving the Lord alone.
Today let's join in prayer that pursuing God will be his greatest endeavor!
I have had moments where I felt in competition for my husband's heart and perhaps that has been your struggle too. We want them to be in pursuit of us, but as we discussed yesterday, our prayers have to be centered on drawing them closer to God. In turn, they will be drawn closer to us because that is the Lord's desire that we be "one flesh".
There are no words more powerful than repeating God's Word over your husband.
When we pray the Word of God over a situation, it has to change. Look for the changes in your husband as you pray. Expect for God to do miraculous thing! Use the scripture to pray over your husband's heart today:

Ezekiel 36:26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Changed-Heart#sthash.HQwXP2yM.dpuf

Lil Maurice Rated PG

Praise God! When I was a little tike, of about five years of age (1975). I guess I thought I was some kind of explorer or zoologist or something, because I used to go around searching for Moby Dick (the fictional whale). I can't remember hearing the story, and I know I didn't read the long novel. But I was obsessed with finding this creature. Which is kind of embarrassing when I think back on it. Somehow I got the idea that Moby Dick lived down in the sewer system, under the manhole covers. One summer day a friend and I, with our big afro's and bell-bottom pants, were playing at my house. My mother (RIP 1/8/50- 5/19/86) decided to take me and my friend with her so she could see her friend, who lived in another part of the hood. When we got there we sat on the front porch. The nice lady offered my friend and I some watermelon. After eating that, my friend and I went around to the back of the house, as my mother and her friend sat on the front porch talking. While...

Spousal Support in Bereavement - Missing Daddy

Image
We have been silent on this blog. We have been quietly holding each other up. This is why. Just a few years into our marriage, we lost Maurice's dad and on February 23rd my dad passed from earth to eternity. Some would say that we are now fatherless, but we beg to differ. My father - Arnold Lee Harden gave his life to Jesus Christ as a teenager and served in his local church. He then married, had three girls and became a deacon in his latter years. We know that life begins when we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, so my dad is living his BEST life right now! I got that full revelation on Easter Sunday weekend. I was tempted to deeply mourn during the holidays, but then, I remembered that this year was my dad's first Easter with Jesus Himself - how glorious! All couples deal with death differently. When your spouse is hurting, how do you support them? Here are a few things that Maurice did for me. Letting Me Cry I do not think I have ever cried so much on my life. I c...

Becoming a Mother

Image
There was a time that I wondered if I would ever be a mother at all. After we got married in 2001, we waited for a few years and then we were pregnant with our first child in the spring of 2005. We were elated because we had finally saved enough to move out of our 1 bedroom apartment and become real homeowners!  Our happiness quickly took a turn for the worse just a few short months later when I began to have periods of cramping, then spotting. I had been working full-time throughout my pregnancy in rehab. It was heavy work, but I thought nothing of it. I was also very ignorant about heavy lifting while pregnant and monitoring my out-of-control mood swings. I took a lot of my frustration out on my husband. We had told our families and then we lost the baby to a miscarriage. Incompatible genes they told us. Incompatible?? Bind the Devil!! Now, I was no midwife or OB/GYN nurse, but I figured two healthy people could have a healthy baby together without complications. It's b...
