My husband has a herniated disk in his back, and possibly tears in the muscle/joint near his hip. For the past few weeks he's gotten different tests done, xrays, and MRIs. Today we get the results.
Here's what's already happened so far....
Our PCS to Korea has been canceled.
He's on a non-PCS list for one year.
He non-deployable.
Each test has caused him more pain.
No medication has worked thus far to take the pain away.
Today we find out....
What's actually wrong.
Does he need surgery?
We get new meds for him.
When surgery and/or further tests will take place.
PRAY!
thanks :)
I love my husband.

Two weeks!
I know... I haven't posted in so very long, and there's still have of the prayer book to be posted. BUT I must share with you that PRAYER WORKS!!! My husband called me and apologized for sending me and our children away...he professed his love for me...vowed he would do everything in his power to be a better husband and father. Only God was involved! It was not my words nor my actions that caused my husband's change of heart. I am so blessed and excited and have such a renewing of faith, it is amazing!
I am not going to continue posting the TPOPW prayers, but know that I did continue them and have since finished the book.
I have a renewed faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ!
I will be moving back to my husband in (if everything goes according to plan) two weeks! Thank you Jesus!
Pray for your husband! It can mean all the difference in the world!

Prayer 12 & 13
I'm combining these into one post. Yes, I did the 12th prayer yesterday, but I just didn't get on here to post it. :)
HIS PROTECTION
Lord, I pray that You would protect my husband from any accident, diseases, dangers, or evil influences. Keep him safe, especially in cars and planes. Hide him from violence and the plans of evil people. Wherever he walks, secure his steps. Keep him on Your path so his feet don't slip (psalm 17:5). If his foot does slip, hold him by Your mercy (psalm 94:18). Give him the wisdom and discretion that will help him walk safely and not fall into danger (prov 3:21-23). Make him to dwell in the shadow of Your wings (psalm 18:2-3). Be his rock, salvation, and defense, so that he will not be moved or shaken (psalm 62:6). I pray that even though bad things may be happening all around him, they will not come near him (psalm 91:7). Save him from any plans of the enemy that seek to destroy his life (psalm 103:4). Preserve his going out and his coming in from this time forward and even forevermore (psalm 121:8).
HIS TRIALS
Lord, You alone know the depth of the burden my husband carries. I may understand the specifics, but You have measured the weight of it on his shoulders. I've not come to minimize what You are doing in his life, for I know You work great things in the midst of trials. Nor am I trying to protect him from what he must face. I only want to support him so that he will get through this battle a winner.
God, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (psalm 46:1). You have invited us to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (hebrews 4:16). I come before Your throne and ask for grace for my husband. Strengthen his heart for this battle and give him patience to wait in You (psalm 17:1-4). Build him up so that no matter what happens he will be able to stand up strong through it. Help him to always be rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer (romans 12:12). Give him endurance to run the race and not give up, for You have said that "a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again" (prov 24:16). Help him to remember that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:for the Lord upholds him with His hand (psalm 37:23-24)
I pray that he will look to You to be his refuge until these calamities have passed by (psalm 57:1). May he learn to wait on You because those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). I pray that he shall find his strength in You and as he cries out to You, You will hear him and save him out of all his troubles (psalm 34:6).

AMEN!! LET IT BE DONE!!!

Prayer 11
HIS HEALTH
Lord, I pray your healing touch on my husband. Make every part of his body function the way You designed it to. Wherever there is anything out of balance, set it in perfect working order. Heal him of any disease, illness, injury, infirmity, or weakness. Strengthen his body to successfully endure his workload, and when he sleeps, may he wake up completely rested, rejuvenated and refreshed. Give him a strong heart that doesn't fail. I dont want him to have heart failure at any time.
I pray that he will have the desire to take care of his body, to eat the kind of food that brings health, to get regular exercise, and avoid anything that would be harmful to him. Help him to understand that his body is Your temple and he should care for it as such. (1 cor 3:16) I pray that he will present it as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You. (romans 12:1)
When he is ill, I pray that You will sustain him and heal him. Fill him with your joy to give him strength. God, I specifically pray for his area of weight, help him to get it down so that his PT evals at work are no longer an issue. Give him faith to say, Oh Lord my God, I cried out to You and You healed me. (Psalm 30:2) Thank You, Lord, that you are my Healer. I pray that my husband live a long and healthy life and when death does come, may it be accompanied by peace and not unbearable suffering and agony. Thank You, Lord, that You will be there to welcome him into Your presence and not a moment before Your appointed hour.

All of this is something I have prayed regularly.

praying with a friend
I gave an old friend the same book that I am going through, because she's in a similar situation as I. And now we will go through this together, as prayer partners. I love her to death! And wherever two or more are gathered, prayer's more powerful!
I love my husband!

Prayer 10
HIS CHOICES
Lord, fill my husband with the fear of the Lord and give him wisdom for every decision he makes. May he reverence You and Your ways and seek to know Your truth. Give him discernment to make decisions base don Your revelation. Help him to make godly choices and keep him from doing anything foolish. Take foolishness out of his heart and enable him to quickly recognize error and avoid it. Open his eyes to clearly see the consequences of any anticipated behavior.
I pray that he will listen to godly counselors and not be a man who is unteachable. Give him strength to reject the counsel of the ungodly and hear Your counsel above all others. I declare that although there are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless the Lord's counsel will stand (Psalm 19:21). Instruct him even as he is sleeping (Psalm 16:7), and in the morning, I pray he will do what's right rather than following the leading of his own flesh. I know the wisdom of this world if foolishness with You, Lord (1 Cor 3:19). May he not buy into it, but keep his eyes on You and have ears to hear Your voice.

All of these prayers are so good...and as i get further along in this book, I think each prayer is better than the last. This one is definitely the prayer i want to write out and post on my mirror to pray every morning as I wake up, and to pray as I lay my head down on the pillow. This prayer, affects all others. It affects the choices he makes, which are so important. I too, pray these things for myself!
God, give me and my husband wisdom. May we do the right and wise thing for our marriage, family, and children!
