See What I mean!!!

Friend to Friend: (portions used from Girlfriends in God devotional)
There are some verses in the Bible that I wish God had just left out. Here are a few:
"A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping" (Proverbs 19:13).
"A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand" (Proverbs 27:15, 16).
"Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife" (Proverbs 21:19).
"Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife" (Proverbs 25:24).
OK, that's about all I can take right now.
Drip, drip, drip. Webster defines nagging as to scold or find fault with repeatedly, to cause annoyance by scolding or repetition. Interestingly, a nag is also an inferior or aged horse. The best remedy to cure ourselves from being a nagging wife is to become a praying wife. Jesus invites us to stop nagging our husbands and begin nagging God!
As determined as I am to pray for my man DAILY...I step into that place of trying to change him, rip the paintbrush from God's hand and start fixing him... well he is God's masterpiece not mine..
I am still praying for you guys and your marriages..Please add your name to my list and please remember to do the same for me as we walk this stony path together.
Let's Pray
Dear Lord, I confess that sometimes I nag my husband ... alright, maybe more than sometimes. But Lord, I am determining in my heart to stop nagging my husband and start being consistent and persistent in prayer. My husband is Your workmanship, not mine. Forgive me when I try to yank the paint brush from Your hand and create brushstrokes of my own. I pray that I can be the woman that he needs in order for him to become the man that You desire.

Praying for your Man!

Sometimes (read-often)GOD sends the same message across my path numerous times in different ways...guess HE tries whatever to get my attention.
For the last several weeks it has been BROUGHT to my ATTENTION -- the necessity to PRAY DAILY for my husband. (you too!!) Seems I keep pushing it away and choose instead the whine and complain about what he doesn't do and how he doesn't do it.
WELL again this morning the devotional was as follows... GUESS HE IS determined to get the message thru my hard-head. At the end of the devotional was the challenge to confide in someone your need to pray for your husband -- to be accountable to someone to pray with you. You pray for their marriage as they pray for yours...HERE I AM ASKING... will you commit to pray for my bombarded marriage- the head of whom is my husband.. and I will commit to pray with you for yours in return.
Let's Pray:
Dear Lord, I pray for my husband, from head to toe.

His Head -That he will look to You as Lord of his life. (1 Corinthians 11:13)
His Mind ­­- That he will have the mind of Christ and think as the Holy Spirit would lead him and not the flesh. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
His Eyes -That You will keep his eyes from temptation and that he will turn his eyes from sin. (Matthew 6:13, Mark 9:47)
His Ears - That he will hear Your still small voice instructing him. (1 Kings 19:12, Psalm 32:8)
His Mouth - That his words will be pleasing to You. (Proverbs 19:14)
His Neck -That he will humble himself before You and be strong, courageous, and careful to do everything written in Your Word so that he will be prosperous and successful. (James 4:10, Joshua 1:8-9)
His Heart-That he will love and trust You with his whole heart. (Deuteronomy 6:5, Proverbs 3:5)
His Arms-That You will be his strength. (Psalm 73:26)
