Praying for Our Husbands

There are so many things we should be doing in our everyday life that get pushed aside but praying for our husband's should not be one of them.

I admit that this is something that I struggle with...well praying in general on most days.

I learned how to pray for my husband years ago in the early days of our marriage. First you pray for yourself, not selfishly but confessing your sins, asking for healing in areas that need it, and then asking for help in the areas you are struggling. Then after that you can pray for your husband.

Why are we suppose to pray this way? Well, because we need to have a clean heart to pray honestly for our husbands and not selfishly.

We have to remember to ask God to clean our hearts, to help us become the wife he wants us to be, to change our hearts towards our husbands, to help us to love him unconditionally right where he is.

Once our hearts are right then we pray for our husbands hearts. To give him strength to deal with the struggles he's facing, to give him wisdom in leading the household, and if changes are a desire of yours then to ask God to help your husband change in His ways not your own.

A wife's prayers have so much power when backed by God. We are the ones that have the biggest influence when we pray because he is "united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one." (Matthew 19:5,6) We are the only ones that are closely united to our husbands.

I'm entering a season of life where I'm committing to praying. Praying for my husband and children first and foremost. I'm using the books "The Power of a Praying Wife", "The Power of a Praying Parent" and of course the Bible, to assist me in getting started. Please join in me praying for our families and let's share what changes we see as we go through this season!

My power verse for this week of praying for my hubby...

Whatever thing you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:24, 25

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
