RE: my husband

Father, please bring work to this husband that he can do well and that will honor you in the doing. Help him to become the provider you created him to be by opening the right doors and closing those that are not within your will for him. Help this wife to stand in the gap without complaint but in full support of this husband. Perhaps the story below will be of some help to them both. I pray that it will...as it is a true story and one that contains great wisdom. In Jesus name...Amen!

Father, So many couples are struggling and going through hard times. It puts a strain on marriages and frays relationships of families overall. I would like to share a story told by one of the most Godly Pastors I have ever had the privilege to meet a gentleman named Rev. E.V. Hill as encouragement to those that are in the midst of storm in their marriages. He has gone to Glory now...but his message still resounds with truth! While this relates to financial strain, the principles are true regardless of the problem...and can be considered as universal for both husbands and wives...I pray that it provokes thought and provides a little different way of looking at our problems...I hope it is as uplifting to you as it was to me.

There was a very famous pastor who built a Bible teaching church that grew a great many pastors up that are now out there leading flocks in various places in the country. I had an opportunity to meet this man at a conference in my town and to hear him preach. He told a story about his wife whom he called his treasure. When he was beginning his ministry...and had founded this church he was having a great deal of difficulty meeting the financial needs of his household. He came home one day and the electricity had been turned off and had had no money to pay the bill. His wife never said a word to him about it. She lit two candles and placed them on the table...picked a flower out of the garden and placed it in a little vase on the table and served him a dinner of homemade soup and bread...she called it a romantic evening for the two of them. The lights stayed off for 2 more days...she got a cooler from the garage and bought a big bag of ice to keep the little meat and milk they had cold...and for two more nights they had "romantic evenings"...and she never said a word of complaint to him. He managed to get the lights back on...and after he did he asked her how she had managed to not be upset with him with all they were going through. He told her he felt he was failing her as a husband. She told him...I knew God would provide...and I knew you were doing your best...and I loved both you and God for it. He ended the story by saying that in that moment he understood what a gift he had been given and that her encouragement changed his life forever...as a man, and as a Pastor. Sometimes it is not what we go through...it is how we go through it that matters most. I hope Father that you will help all couples to look at their circumstances and see the gift that they truly are to one another. Help them to stand Father...In Jesus name...Amen!
