Lord, I pray that my husband will be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God, so he can stand against the enemy every day. Enable him to take up the shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

When you receive God's love, it means you're getting close to Him, spending time in His presence, opening your heart to Him, seeking to know Him, and desiring to be more like Him. Remember that choosing to receive God's love changes your life.

Because God is a God of mercy and His mercy endures forever, you can trust that he will have mercy on you (See: 1 Chronicles 17:13). Therefore you can show mercy to your spouse by forgiving whenever he (she) does or says something that hurts or disturbs you.

Prayer is not telling God what to do. Prayer is partnering with God to see that His will is done. You don't have to fully understand what God's will is in order to pray that His will be done.

Don't be afraid when you have to pray fervently because of your circumstances. God is wanting to do something great through you!

The Holy Spirit's desire is that we become more and more dependent upon Him for every step. That's because He wants to take us to places we've never been before. To heights we can't even imagine!

If you want to determine if your thoughts are from the enemy or from God, ask yourself, 'Are these thoughts I'd choose to have?

How you respond to the enemy of your soul determines whether his plan for your life or God's plan for your life is realized.

The enemy wants to steal our peace and keep us stirred up, anxious, fearful, upset, and always in a stance of waiting for something terrible to happen at any minute.

We don't want to limit what God can do in our children by trying to parent them alone--Trust God to take care of them.

People's love for us may change, depending on what we do or don't do to please them. But God's does not--it's everlasting.

Praying is not telling God what to do. It's trusting that God knows what to do.

When a wise woman speaks, her words are gracious. Ask God to help you find words that speak life to those around you.

There's only one power in the world great enough to help us rise above the difficult things we face: the power of God.

In the darkest times of your life, your praise to God should be the loudest. Let the enemy know you're not afraid of the dark.

Children who have faith have distinctly different characteristics from those who don't. In fact, one of the main manifestations of a person with strong faith is the ability to give--not just in terms of money or possessions, but also time, love, and encouragement.

When we forgive someone, it doesn't justify what they've done. It releases them into God's hands so He can deal with them.

Know that once we have received Jesus, we can't continue to live our old sinful lifestyle. Now that we have His Holy Spirit living in us, guiding us, and transforming us, we have no excuse.

It's important that you keep asking God to show you what He wants you to do. If you don't ask, you won't know.

In times of weakness, choose to put yourself under God's control.
