"Don't let evil get the best of you, but conquer evil by doing good."
Romans 12:21 (NLT)
Prayer:
Lord, I pray that (_____) will not let evil get the best of him today! Show him how he can conquer evil by doing good. Help him to see how your way is the best way. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Wives, know that sometimes when God is working in us, things can appear to get worse. This has happened to me both times I began this 40 days of prayer for my husband. My prayer partner and good friend, Jancey, could tell you this is true. When we did this for the first time together, a few days into our praying, my marriage seemed to fall apart at the seams if you know what I mean.
I couldn't believe it. Here I was praying earnestly everyday and my marriage was literally falling apart. I remember Jancey saying to me,
"I see this as a good thing. I think God is bringing to the surface all the bad so that you can deal with it and move forward."
I wasn't as convinced, but we continued to pray for the remainder of the 40 days and she turned out to be right.
So if things seem to go south as you begin to pray during the next 40 days, don't give up! It means God is working on you both and the bad stuff needs to be sifted and brought to the surface and removed. Just keep praying!
Remember: Memorize the scriptures and also get a prayer partner, they can sometimes see what we can't see by ourselves!
See you tomorrow!
