How was your first week of praying daily for Mr. Husband? Here are a few more ideas of ways to incorporate prayer into your daily life:

1. Text a prayer partner to say that you prayed for Mr. Husband today. Ask her how it’s going for her.
2. Start a Google doc that you update with a written prayer for the first 5 minutes on your computer.
3. Pick a daily routine activity (showering, washing dishes, driving to work, etc.) and designate that time to pray for Mr. Husband.
4. Turn on some worship music, open your Bible and journal, and write out your prayers for at least 2 songs. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to “get in the flow” once you get started!
