Marriage Monday - Power of a Praying Wife Week 29


When I hear the word faith, I often think of the old song we sang in Sunday School.

Faith, faith, faith,
Just a little bit of faith.
It don't take a lot,
just use what you got.
Faith, faith, faith,
Just a little bit of faith.


It doesn't take a lot of faith, God tells us we only need faith the size of a mustard seed to move mountains {Luke 17:6, Matthew 17:20}, but living a life of faith is so incredible! We are human and sometimes doubt creeps in. When things are difficult,we can stand on the promises and power of God.

Our lives don't have to be left up to chance, or allowed to go flapping in the breeze according to whatever wind is blowing at the moment. Our faith will help determine our outcome.


Does your husband struggle with doubt? Fear? Pray for his faith.

This Week's Prayer:

I pray that You will give {husband's name} an added measure of faith today. Enlarge his ability to believe in You. Your Word, Your promises,  Your ways, and Your power. Put a longing in His heart to talk with You and hear Your voice. Give him an understanding of what it means to bask in Your presence and not just ask for things. May he seek You, rely totally upon You, be led by You, put You first and acknowledge You in everything He does.

Lord, You've said that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" {Romans 10:17}. Feed his soul with Your Word so his faith grows big enough to believe that with You all things are possible {Matthew 19:26}. Give him unfailing certainty that what You've promised to do, You will do {Romans 4:21}. Make his faith a shield of protection. Put it into action to move the mountains in his life. Your Word says, "the just shall live by faith" {Romans 1:17}. I pray that he will live the kind of faith-filled life You've called us all to experience. May he know with complete certainty "how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You" {Psalm 31:19}.

Amen.

  2. Sometimes I think faith is like a muscle - the more you use it the easier it moves:)My favorite moments in these 30 years have been when we've lifted each other in faith and recounted the stories together:)

  3. Praying with you for my RB. Faith to believe -- I need that, too. I've never heard the S.S. song but I like the words.
