First, before reviewing, "The
Power of a Praying Husband" by
Stormie Omartian, I want to take
you on my own journey. In our years of courting, I would always pray
to the Lord Jesus
for Chandraleela.
Sadly, after marriage, I was only able to be with my precious wife
for only one week before I had to return to the states for work. She
had to stay behind for 17 months in India as she waited for her
visa. During those months, I would pray for her and with her almost
everyday over the phone. When she came to the states, we would pray
together many times but it was not consistent on my part.
Recently, I finished 'The Power
of a Praying Husband' again and realized how inconsistent I
have been when it came to praying for her and with her in different
areas of her life. So with the Lord's help, I chose to change
that by praying with her almost every morning before 5:30 am and
sending her a Bible verse and blessing before I started work by 6:15
am. I loved those times. But, what was more special and touching for
me was when my wife would lay her hands on me and pray for me before
work.
You should not need a book to pray
for your wife but I am thankful to the Lord for what Omartian shared
in her book to make me realize how important it is for a husband to
daily pray for his wife and with his wife.
Start of your marriage on the right
track.
What is the most important thing you
can do for your wife?
How do you show that you love your
wife?
One of the full proof ways of
showing love to your wife is praying for her daily.
But, what is even more powerful is
laying your hands upon her and praying for her and with her.
I recently finished ‘Power of a
Praying Husband’ for a third time.
Every husband should read this book
and even use it as a reference to pray for his wife daily.
Omartian does an excellent job in
her book addressing topics every husband needs to know about so he
can pray for his wife effectively.
You will learn what your primary
role as a husband should be.
Not only that but you will learn the
the pivotal role prayer plays when it comes to her Spirit, her
emotions, her motherhood, her moods, her marriage, her submission,
her relationships, her priorities, her beauty, her sexuality, her
fears, her purpose, her trust, her protection, her desires, her
work, her deliverance, her obedience, and her future.
Omartian uses real life surveys of
what wives say that they wish their husbands would do. Not only that
but we also learn about testimonies from prominent husbands who have
prayed for their wives and the results of those actions.
We are challenged throughout the
book about how the husband should take care of his wife.
This is a book you would not want to
put down once you open it.
You should not let another day of
your marriage go by without reading this book and putting the
principles and prayers into practice.
