Reviews for The Power of a Praying Woman Prayer and Study Guide
6 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an excellent resource. In praying for your spouse you are reminded of your own sin and humbled by it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an amazingly powerful book. Don't get turned away by thinking she is telling you "how" to pray. I was blessed by reading the prayers, and understanding the truth that was being revealed. Sometimes we have to look deeper at ourselves and pray more for our spouses.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Don't be turned off by the cheesy cover. This book helped turn my attitude as a wife from vengeful and vindictive to understanding and forgiving. I pray through a prayer a day (in theory, in reality I get through it once a year or so), but it helps me really think of what is good for my husband.

Before you begin, ask God to help you be completely honest with yourself and with Him in answering these questions. Remember, He already knows the truth, and no one else should be reading this but you.
1. Do you feel you are growing mentally? Emotionally? Spiritually? Explain each of your answers.
2. In what ways would you like to see yourself grow and develop in the future?
3. What are the greatest longings of your heart? What would satisfy those longings and desires? Do you believe it is God’s will for you to have those desires met?
4. Do you find it harder to pray for yourself than for others? Explain why or why not.
5. We will never be happy until we make ___________ the source of our ___________ and the ___________ to our ___________. He is the ___________ ___________ who should have ___________ over our ___________. (See page 13, first paragraph, in The Power of a Praying Woman.)
6. Read 2 Corinthians 12:9 in your Bible and underline it. In light of this verse, why is it okay to feel weak?
7. What do you believe are some of your areas of weakness? (For example, it could be things such as public speaking, confronting issues, meeting new people, being organized, sharing your faith, getting along with others, handling finances, walking in faith, or resisting temptation.) Write out a prayer asking God to help you be strong in the areas where you are weak, if that is His will, or that His strength would be made perfect in your weakness.
