Husbands, this is a call to action!
Prayer has immeasurable capabilities to transform the reality around us. Prayer moves the hand of God. Through our prayers He moves, transforms, and heals us.
I love this quote: “Without Him we can’t, and without us He won’t.” Meaning, we are the hands and feet of the Lord. He is our strength and power, but He demands our participation.
We are called to be the hands and feet, and this starts in prayer.
