“I know several couples who experienced adultery in their marriages, but because in each case there was a wife who was willing to pray and a husband open to allowing God to change and restore him, the marriages are still intact and successful today. Only prayer, a submitted heart, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit can work those kinds of miracles.” KnowsHeartKindStillsTodaySpiritPrayerCasesSuccessfulWifeWillingPrayingCoupleHolyHusbandMiracleHoly SpiritAllowingAdulteryTransforming Book:The Power of a Praying® Wife Source: The Power of a Praying® Wife
“When you get up in the morning, before you suffer yourselves to eat one mouthful of food, call your wife and children together, bow down before the Lord, ask him to forgive your sins, and protect you through the day, to preserve you from temptation and all evil, to guide your steps aright.” ChildrenTogetherSufferingEvilAsksPrayerSinLordStepsMorningWifeProtectForgivingGuidesTemptationGet UpPreservesBowsProtect You Author:Brigham Young
“To forgive the incessant provocations of daily life - to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son - how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, “Forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it is to refuse God’s mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what he says.” ThinkingMeanRememberLawMotherNightTermPrayerWifeSonHusbandDaughterMercyForgivingRefuseSelfishExceptionDaily LifeBullyingOur PrayersHintsIn-lawsOur WordsIncessantDeceitfulProvocationMother In LawNaggingBossy Author:C.

“Go to bed before 8 p.m. Thieves generally break in between 12 and 2 a.m., so if you spend the evening in useless talk and go to bed late, you are likely to lose your valuables and your reputation as well. Save the firing and the light that will be wasted by staying up late and get up at four in the morning. Have a cold bath and say your prayers, and after you have dressed, give your orders for the day to your wife and children and retainers and so be ready to go on duty before 6 [a.m.]” IfsGivingWellsChildrenLightOrderLosesPrayerBreakMorningFourWifeAdviceReadyDutyGoes OnColdBedLateReputationGet UpEveningUselessStayingThievesBathsOur PrayersFiringRetainers Author:Hojo Soun
