THE POWER OF PRAYER

Helllew alll! It's been awhile... been crazy busy... but been GOOD!

I don't really have a topic, so I shall just go with it...

Friday night Tim took me on a date... it was AWESOME.. it was fun! It was good to have alone time looking 'pretty'! LOL. Does that make since? Instead of around the house in my sweats and no make up- alone with him.

*5 minutes later*

Okay.. here's what I'd like to discuss.... PRAYING WITH YOUR SPOUSE! We all know about the "power of prayer" but recently Tim and I have learned about the "power of us praying together". At my Wednesday night bible study, a friend suggested that when we pray together that we pray for each others struggles/temptations. Wow- GOD is good! Incorporating this into our lives has really made a difference! Even in the short time that we have done this, we can see a difference! I believe that everyone gets caught up in their busy lives praying for everything and everyone (our kids, jobs, finances, etc), that we sometimes forget to pray about our husbands/wives- the most important human relationship! Or at least Tim and I do. To take the time to let your spouse know what you are needing prayer for and hearing him/her pray about them for you.... gave me personally a feeling of love and unity! It opened up alot of communication between us!

TRY IT!

It was difficult for Tim on some nights. For example: one of my prayer requests was that "i am able to understand, before being understood". I struggle with trying to get my point across and not taking the time to listen to Tim. Well.... he had a tough time with this... LOL.. because his prayer was the "I (Heather) understand him (Tim) before he understands me! haha, anyways, that was funny! :-)

PRAY!

  1. Heather, I'm excited to know that you and Tim are praying for each other. This will change your marriage in ways you can't even imagine. Just remember that satan will do what he can to try to get you two not to pray together. But when you do God will do such amazing things. Keep up the great work!!!
