I was cleaning and organizing some paperwork and I found something very dear to my heart. During my first year of marriage, my sweet and precious Mother, gave to me, a small notebook on, "How to pray for your Husband in 31 days", by Peggy Nyquist.
I'm trying to eliminate paper around the house, so I thought I would put this on my blog to save, for you, and for my daughter, Laura Beth. I'll write a day at a time, at the same time while typing, I will pray for my darling husband, and for my boys, Daniel, 23 years old, and James, 16 years old.
Praying according to God's Word is praying according to His will, and then we can ask with confidence.
Day 1 & 16
