The Praying Helpmeet

"A helpmeet is marked by a life of prayer! She will pray for her man! I am not talking about a simple little God bless him . . . I mean earnest, continual, unceasing prayer. Prayer with a burdened heart until you pray through for him! So often, more time is spent grumbling and complaining about one fault in our husbands than we spend in prayer for them in a whole year! A helpmeet will be busy praying and fasting for her man!

Let's do a check-up: Do you pray earnestly, continually, and unceasingly for him? When was the last time that you prayed about a problem of his until it was answered? Do you care enough about his struggles, his dreams, his concerns, and his desires to pray and fast for God's answers? Do you take your concerns to the Lord or try to handle them yourself? Would your husband call you a woman of prayer? Can he depend on you to be praying for him? May we commit to become a praying helpmeet today!"

Thank you. I have been convicted. Please pray that I will begin to earnestly pray for my helpmeet.
