I went through a women's Bible study a couple years ago. In this study the author of the book suggested writing a prayer for your husband. You were to write the prayer. Kneel beside his side of the bed and pray it over him and then place it under his side of the mattress.

So I did it.I began the letter with Thanksgiving to God for my dh. I thanked God for all the wonderful qualities in my dh. When I was single I had prayed for these qualities and God answered my prayer in giving me a godly husband.  I asked God to lead him and guide him and also to change me to become the person I needed to be -to honor him and be his helper. (Of course I expanded on this alot, the letter was 2 pages long.) Anyway I am sharing this because I believe that doing this was an act of faith. (Not that a letter moves God.) But the act of faith did.

Within just a few months God moved mightily in our lives. My husband was offered another job with a company that is owned by a Christian man.  God answered many other specific prayers that I had asked God for, specific dollar amounts I had prayed to God about, specific things we were looking for in a home and new area to live in, etc. 

Anyway, after doing this (writing the prayer) for dh I also did it for ds, and just recently I did it for dd.
It just makes me feel like there is always a prayer covering them. (Even though I still pray for them daily and I know that Jesus is always interceding for us.)

About once every 3 months or so, or when I feel led to -I get the prayer out and kneel beside their beds and pray it over them again. (Sometimes I may even change it-some to update it.)

Today I really felt led to get some things on paper. Confessions of my faith, thanksgiving to God, confessions of sin, etc. (Now I am not saying these things are necessary...But for me, when I write my thoughts down they seem more real.) For me, perhaps it is some sort of therapy....Does anyone else ever seem to have a problem with old memories (things you did BC?) We all know these things are covered and forgiven and I myself have asked forgiveness for those things, but in this earthly (tent) the bad memories and failures are still there. So I can always add to the list, if I feel the need to...)
But then when those memories try to come back I can just remember that they are already on that list and have already been forgiven. You know what else? If God can forget them, then I need to too!

So I put a prayer to God for me under my side of the mattress. (My continual heart cry to God for this coming year.) Things I am asking and trusting God to do in me.
