The Power of a Praying Wife

I've read this book twice. There are other versions to it. Praying Husband. Praying Parent. Praying Woman. Praying Through Deeper Issues of Marriage. Etc.

I am not surprised to receive a lot of slack regarding my stand to keep praying. Prayer can move mountains. If you do not believe in prayer alone and what God, in his infinite power, can do, then I feel sorry for you. I am rejoicing in my situation. Not because I laugh at the face of adversity, but because I am excited to see the end of the road. It is by His grace that I can smile and face my problems head on.

The other night at the grocery, J's friend C told me a story about seeing the good and finding joy in every situation. A man's father was an alcoholic. One day, the man decided to change his perspective and began to be joyful in spite of his dad's alcohol problem. He prayed for the dad and believed that God can make something beautiful out of it. Two weeks from the change in perspective, the father approached him and talked to him about God and his alcohol problem. :) Sometimes, God waits for us to surrender everything to Him before He even begins to work on our lives. I have a friend who is polycystic. She depended on her OBs to get her pregnant. After much work-up for the past two years, she decided to rest and just trust God. She went on vacay, and a month later, without the help of medicines, she tested positive. She now has a two year old boy.

I am not saying that reconciliation is the end of my game (where God is leading me, I still do not know). All I am saying is that I choose to pray for the father of my kids. I choose to pray for a man to get to know the Man who gave His life for him. I'd do so for any other man.
