Pray For Your Wife: 31 Day Challenge—Day Thirty

Day Thirty: that she would shine

Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. –Philippians 2:14-16

One of the ways that our wives can shine in this world is by being women of markedly different character. If she goes about her days without grumbling and complaining people will noticed that she is different. Of course, that is only possible because Jesus Christ is the chief affection in her heart. We have to be redeemed out of the crooked and twisted generation before we can shine as different. Having a heart that doesn’t grumble but instead shines out hope is a rarity in this world. Pray today that your wife is such a jewel.

Lord, I’m grateful that my wife does shine in this way. I am thankful that because of your salvation you have caused her to have hope and not to be a grumbler. Even still I know that she is not yet fully redeemed. Stir in her heart a passion to be cheerful. Cause her to shine like a star in a dark world. I pray that she is not embarrassed by the light—but she is embolden to shine the glory of Christ even brighter. Amen.
