Going Deeper

When you pray for your wife, you are covering her with something more powerful than your own efforts — you are placing her in God's care. Pray for the peace that guards her heart, for the strength and dignity that carry her through hard days, and for the joy that comes from knowing she is deeply loved. Your prayers for her are an act of love she may never fully see, but God always hears.
