A Wonderful Tool For My Morning Prayer...., April 14, 2001
This review is from: The Power of a Praying Wife Praying Cards (Paperback)
According to the back cover, this booklet of tear-out prayer cards came about because of the success of the prayers suggested in the original book, "The Power Of A Praying Wife." Evidently, faithful readers were scribbling the prayers on notepads or ripping them out of the book to keep them handy and so the author collected them in this booklet. I haven't read the original book; I just stumbled across the cards and, they being exactly what I needed, I bought them.
I have a morning prayer routine and I was looking for something to help me focus some of that time on my husband. Being new to prayer, I was hoping there was something more specific out there that I could be praying besides my general, "God, please take care of him and bless his day." THESE CARDS ARE GREAT! They're divided into subject: Me (His Wife), His Health, His Work, His Marriage, His Walk With God, His Purpose, His Talk, etc., and each one includes a bit of scripture at the bottom.
Yesterday's (to give you an example), from His Past, included: "Lord, wherever my husband's past has become an unpleasant memory, I pray You would redeem it and bring life out of it. Bind up his wounds (Psalm 147:3). Restore his soul (Psalm 23:3). Help him to release the past so that he will no live in it, but learn from it, break out of it, and move into the future You have for him."
My favorite section of prayers is the His Wife category in which the author suggests you pray to become a better wife; I pray one His Wife card every day as part of my rosary and then later randomly pick one other. An example? "Lord, help me to be a good wife. . . 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. . . Only You can transform me."
The author has also written at least one other Prayer Card booklet, from her book "The Power of a Praying Parent", and I intend to buy it, too, so that I can keep my neices and nephews in daily prayer. I highly recommend these cards.

When you don't know how to pray for your husband..., March 25, 2002
This review is from: The Power of a Praying Wife Praying Cards (Paperback)
Stormie comes through! When I first read her book, The Power of a Praying Wife, I was immediately convinced of the ideas she presented, but didn't know exactly how to go about doing it. With the cards, I can have a starting place to pray for my husband on various different topics and it's amazing the way that those cards open up the spirit to receiving other insights to pray for! I definitly recommend these cards to anyone trying to follow the principles of Power of A Praying Wife.
