As a kid I
remember a toy called Stretch Armstrong… he was a rubbery looking man with
yellow hair. He had arms & legs that stretched & stretched &
stretched when you pulled on them. Not sure if they still make that toy or not…
too funny!
That brings
me to today’s prayer for our husbands… praying for his arms. It is good to have
a man around that can lift & move things… saves strain on us ladies! But
physical strength can sometimes get in the way of God’s strength working in our
lives. Your husband may feel he is strong & can do it all on his owns, but we
read in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10… where Paul is talking about his weakness &
how he asked God to remove it. Here is the answer God gave Paul…
“My grace is
all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” (v. 9)
I have been there… I understand that… it is so powerful when
God reminds us of that truth! His grace IS all we need!
So as you pray for your husband’s arms, pray that he will not
depend of his own strength to get through the day… that he would rely on God’s
strength & Word to get him through. Ask Father to help your husband to
fashion strength of character, courage & purpose… as God sees fit.
Thank-you for loving your husband enough to pray for him!
Rejoicing in Truth!
