Day 3 Challenge: Mind Study
You could observe someone all day and still not know their biggest prayer requests because you won’t know what all is going on inside their head. Without knowing what someone thinks about, you probably won’t know how to pray for them.
God knows that our thoughts matter – they matter a lot. It’s what’s in our thoughts and hearts that defile us and can consume us. Mark 7:20-23 shows the kind of sins that can come out of us, and how these things start from within. Thankfully for us as believers, we have the power to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ as it says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.
What goes on in our minds impacts us. How can you know your wife without knowing what’s on her mind?
Though God knows exactly what is on your wife's mind every moment of every day, you do not. You are not a mind reader. But you can study what’s going on in your wife's mind by simply asking.
Learning what’s on your wife’s mind will not only help you know her better, it will better equip you to pray effectively for her.
Today your challenge is to find out what is on your wife's mind. What is taking up space in her head?
Challenge: Find out what is on your wife’s mind by asking her. Simply ask her:
- What has been on your mind today?
- What took up a lot of space in your mind today?
- What did you say about yourself today in your head?
- What did you say about others in your head today?
- What was something you thought today that made you happy?
- What was something you thought today that made you anxious?
- What was something you thought today that made you sad?
- What was something you thought today that made you mad?
- How can I pray for you and your thoughts today?
Prayer Challenge: Ask your wife if you can pray for her and some of the things she’s dealing with in her head. Pray together for God to help her to take her thoughts captive, and to help her with all the things she is facing in this current season.
