Your Wife’s Greatest Need

What is your wife’s greatest need? 2922 days ago on 31 March 2006 I married my wonderful and beautiful wife. On that day I made a commitment to the LORD that each and every day I would PRAY for my wife.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of prayer and will call upon the name of the LORD”. – Psalms 116:17

Since that glorious day I have fulfilled that promise to GOD. Now honestly I don’t see it as any sacrifice. I am overjoyed to bring my wife before the LORD.

Looking at the troubled state of marriage in society today both inside and outside of the church I honestly believe that if more men prayed, I mean truly prayer for their wife, we would have far less divorce. Bringing a person before our Heavenly Father is one of the most loving and caring things you can do.

I am not saying that you must say some long theologian prayer just start praying every day for her. My wife has many health issues so I bring these before the Father. Many times I just thank GOD for bring my wife into my life.

1st Thessalonians 5:17 tells us “Pray without ceasing”. Now I understand we live in a busy world. However most of us find time to text and email. We spend time on social media. Men, how about a little less time on email and more time on “knee mail”. Spend time through the day lifting up your wife.

Asking GOD to protect her and strengthen her. For myself I like to take time during breaks at work just lifting up my wife in prayer.

Men we live in a world where blended families are becoming the norm. When my wonderful wife and I got married a very special blessing came along. An awesome 8yr old(now 18) young lady. Not one ounce of my dna but she is my daughter. I lift her up each day just as I do my wife. If we prayed more for our children they might have a better future.
