The Power of a Praying Wife

The Power of a Praying Wife is more than just a book—it’s a spiritual lifeline for anyone who desires to pray intentionally over their marriage. Stormie Omartian masterfully weaves scripture, honesty, and encouragement into 30 focused chapters that target real-life areas every wife prays about—his work, his emotions, his temptations, his leadership, and more. What makes this book so impactful is how practical and relatable it is. Each chapter includes a heartfelt prayer and related scriptures, making it easy to apply immediately. Whether your marriage is thriving or going through struggles, this book invites you to intercede for your husband with clarity, love, and spiritual authority. I personally found peace and empowerment reading and praying through each section. It’s also a beautiful gift for other wives or newlyweds seeking to build their union on prayer. Pros: ✔️ 30 focused chapters with scripture-based prayers ✔️ Encouraging and easy to read ✔️ Strengthens your relationship with God and your spouse ✔️ Great for group studies or personal devotion Cons: ➖ Some chapters may feel repetitive if read all at once (best used as a daily devotional)

The Power of a Praying Wife is an absolute treasure that has profoundly impacted my life and my marriage. Stormie Omartian has created a powerful guide that encourages wives to take an active role in praying for their husbands and their relationships. This book opened my eyes to how much influence prayer can have, not just in my husband's life, but in my own heart and our marriage as a whole. Each chapter offers a deep, thoughtful prayer for various aspects of your husband's life — from his work to his emotions, faith, and character. What I love most is how the book doesn't just focus on the external issues but also encourages personal reflection and growth within the wife. It challenged me to see my husband through God's eyes, understanding how prayer is not only a means to support him but also a way to invite God's healing and guidance into our marriage. The prayers are heartfelt and easy to use, making it simple to incorporate into your daily routine. This book has helped me approach my husband with more grace, understanding, and patience, and I've noticed a significant shift in how I communicate and support him. I’ve also seen how my consistent prayers have nurtured our relationship and brought us closer together. If you’re looking for a way to strengthen your marriage and deepen your spiritual connection with your spouse, The Power of a Praying Wife is a must-read. It’s a powerful tool for anyone who wants to see their marriage thrive under the power of prayer!

Let me start by saying I wish somebody would’ve told me about this book sooner. If you’re looking for a wedding gift or engagement gift this is absolutely the book to get not only is it biblical scriptures, but she gets very personal and I love that. I love when somebody can let down the walls and get personal with me, let me in into their life. For me, it helps me in situations where I feel like I’m the only one going through this. It’s real it’s raw and the prayers are working. I can see God transforming me into a better wife and I do not take this slightly that My Husband just got a new job that he is absolutely in love with. I started praying these prayers and life began to change. Highly recommend.

This is a good book. I recommend it. Easy to read and apply the prayers. I have actually printed the prayers and stuck the copies in my Bible so that I do not have to be walking around with the book all the time. This allows me to read the prayers when needed…as a supplement.

Great study! Just do it, don’t hesitate!

I'm not married yet, but I was still recommended this book to prepare as a single woman. Let me tell you, chapter one had me CAPTIVATED from the start. There are so many areas of this book that are helping me to prepare for marriage, even though the intention was during marriage. I will be referring back to this book once I am married!

I sometimes enjoy reading the chapters, but honestly, most of the time I skip straight to the prayers. Out loud. And then I read the scriptures out loud following the prayers. I'm very thankful for these books.

This book changed my life, starting with changing my perspective of what a wife was. I was convicted multiple times. I even threw the book across the room at least twice because it cut me so deep. I read this my first time in 2007 when I was experiencing a divorce. Now I am revisiting this after being remarried for 12 years. I am starting a small wives reading club with another veteran wife and 3 newly married wives. I look forward to God using this book to remind me of the ministry of being a wife.

I bought this book to help me focus outward and pray over my husband. Tell us to get through the tough times when he and I are not so loveable. I love what it says on the back… “ Worrying about your marriage changes nothing… Praying about it can change everything.” If you want to strengthen your marriage, Get better of praying, and Focussing on Christ. This is the book for you!

This book is very inspiring and gave me so much hope for the future. I was living alone at the time when I desperately needed to know how "to fix" my husband. I had spoken to him about his problems but he was still in denial. He told me he must be honest and say that he has stopped his ways just for my sake. This really upset me but this book was a "life saver". This book gave me hope and told me where to start "the fight"!

Useful guide for praying women.
