Becoming A Praying Husband - Praying For Your Wife's Deliverance

     Your wife has a past. She has experienced deep hurts. She has yielded to temptation. She has believed certain lies of the enemy. Your wife needs to be delivered from these past hurts, sins, and wounds.
     You don't have to have all the answers for her. You don't have to understand everything about her past. This is because God does have the answers and He understands your wife's past. He can set her free from all that binds her. This is why it is crucial to commit your wife into His hands and pray for His deliverance in her life.
     You need to keep in mind that emotional hurts and bondage usually come off one layer at a time. If your wife achieves breakthrough in a certain area, don't be surprised if it surfaces again with greater vengeance. When this happens, cling to God. He will give you the strength that you need. And He will grant deliverance and freedom to your wife.
