I had one such incident on last Easter Sunday. We fought like mad, before starting to church..And I was crying all the way...So irritated. Wondering why we should go to church fighting😒 oxymoron but anyway we did. I dint listen to the message...
Was asking God ,how to handle things..And what to do.. he gave me such peace and I bounced back... And my guy also was ok after church.
When we returned home, everything was normal. Earlier the fight has ripple effect throughout the day/week. But not that day! God helped me see where I go wrong. The attitude, the words, the anger... At the peak of the moment. Is not worth it. Praising God for his mercies.
Pray for your husband daily. That's what am following regularly. Even when I say a prayer with my kids I pray for him. Not seeing any change but still am sure God will touch Him soon in His time.
* started following regularly.. very recently
True. I had a ten pray point, when we were separated. I used my fingers to count. And I still do that. But not that frequent. But must do daily.
Btw, one of our fellowship friend, shared her story of her dad (unbeliever),mom Christian. Till she was 10 years, her mom secretly did family prayer. Dad wasn't opposed to them going to church. In fact droped/picked them up.
One new year service, it was too long, and her dad had to wait outside.while waiting God had spoken to him. And the next new yeat service he came inside church.
Now he's an elder in the church and very active in telling the gospel.
I hope this story encourages, all those with husband's who are yet to be saved.
Here's a custom prayer for my husband.😋
Make yours something like
1. For him to taste the Lord's love -height. width,breadth
2 . Renewing of his mind by the holy spirit daily.
3. His health
4. His job - to love his job
5. His friends. - to have a Christian mentor at workplace.
6. His anger
7. His forgiveness and forgetfulness.
8. His joy. No lamentations or critical spirit.
9. His ministry what God has called him to.
10. To bring out his talent
Lifetime investment. 😏 praying for him daily itself will renew our thinking and help us put things in the right perspective . Instead of fuming and getting upset. 😑
