Power of a Praying Wife
Power of a Praying Wife Study Plan
I was asked by a friend to help her stay accountable in her prayer life. This is the plan that I put together to keep us both accountable. The PDF includes a week by week reading plan, accountability question, and a check list. Find a friend to do this study with. It will make it much easier to stay in it for the full 33 weeks.
This is not intended to be a full small group reading plan. This reading plan was designed to help keep each other accountable in prayer life. And was originally designed for 2-3 people to complete together.
A word of caution: protect your marriage. Do not allow your accountability time to turn into an opportunity to be overly critical of your husband. The purpose of the accountability questions is to stay true to your commitment in the reading plan, and to grow yourself.
Why is this study so long?
The book, Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian, is 31 chapters worth of prayers, plus an intro chapter. I wanted to make the commitment per week low (only two days worth of homework). Spacing this book out over a long period of time gives you the opportunity to give each prayer the attention it deserves. And also gives you time to reflect on the topic yourself.
If it is too long, you can turn this reading plan into a 6 or 8 week study. Start with week one, then choose 5-7 topics that are most important to you currently.
How to use this Study Plan
You will need a copy of The Power of a Praying Wife, a journal (or your notes app), your Bible, and a favorite pen.
If you are in a group: Complete day one and two on your own time. Choose one person to be the assigned the leader role. Pick a day of the week to be your accountability day. The group should answer the accountability question together in person, through a phone call, or over text messages.
If you are doing a solo study: Follow the reading plan, and use the accountability questions as journalling prompts
