Healing and Protective Father God,
thank You for guiding me to the local Christian bookstore today. After choosing
several books, none of which spoke to my heart, I took a moment to pray.
Without delay, I felt an urge to bend down. On the bottom shelf,
I discovered a small book approximately the size of my hand. The
book was called, The Power of a Praying Wife. I quickly pulled the
book out from the shelf. As I open the pages I sat back on my heels and began to read the first prayer. Right away, I felt
Your Holy Spirit convict my heart. I plopped myself on the floor and read the
same prayer a second time. This time, I prayed to You as I read each word.
"Lord, help me to be a good
wife. I fully realize that I don't have what it takes to be one without Your
help. Take my selfishness, impatience,
and irritability and turn them into kindness, long-suffering, and the
willingness to bear all things. Take my old emotional habits, mindsets,
automatic reactions, rude assumptions,
and self-protectiveness and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and
self-controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with
Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love,
peace, and joy (Galatians 5:22, 23). I am
not able to rise above who I am at this moment. Only You can transform
me."[1] “Amen!”
I softly said out loud.
