Fervent and honest prayer causes the depths of our hearts to be exposed. It means that any negative thoughts, bad attitudes, hardness of heart, or selfish motives are going to be revealed by the Lord. This means we can’t get away with anything. The good thing about prayer-or the problem with prayer, depending on your perspective-is that we have to go to God to do it. This is the most important place for a man to begin praying. In my survey of wives, 85 percent of them said the most important prayer their husband could pray was that he would become the man, husband, and head of the home God wanted him to be. When your wife knows you are praying, she is confident of all of these things. She wants you to trust that with God nothing is impossible, and because of that you will never give up hoping for the impossible to happen. She needs the assurance you have a play in your pocket that can take you down the field with the ball for a possible winning score. And she wants the security of knowing that when things are tough and down to the wire-even when the enemy is already celebrating your demise and all appears to be lost-you have the faith to believe that up to the very last second everything can turn around. Your marriage is like that football game. It was so amazing that news reports of it even referred to it as a miracle. Instead they pulled an unlikely play out of their book, and through the most astonishing sequence of events, the home team made a winning touchdown in the last few seconds of the game. But the losing team and coach didn’t give up or let their morale fall. Some people were even leaving the stadium. The game appeared to be over, and the opposing team and fans were already celebrating.

They needed a touchdown to win, but everything was against them making a score in that amount of time. I once saw a football game where the home team was losing and there were less than 15 seconds left in the game.
