As you both set out in the morning.

Ready to pour yourself into your work.

Wait a minute, slow down a little.

Don’t leave the room just yet.

Hold her hands. Place yours in his.

You may lock up in an embrace.

Breathe. And say a short prayer.

Speak into her day. Prophesy into his.

Don’t make it long, keep it short.

In that connection and strong link

Agree together on what the day should be.

Establish for yourselves how you want it.

The lines fall for him in pleasant places

Jehovah shields her continually with favour.

The Hand of God be upon her for good

The Spirit of excellence rests upon him

He makes right decisions to-day

Her heart indicts of a good matter all day

Sovereign God garrisons her heart with peace

The Almighty keeps him from all evil.

Say it. Speak it. Declare it.

Do it on Monday. Make it happen on Tuesday.

Show up on Wednesday. Report on Thursday.

Thank God it’s Friday. Saturday’s got nothing on you.

It’s a new page on Sunday.

It’s not in the length of the prayer, it’s in the consistency.

It’s not in the loudness of the petition, it’s in the commitment to it.

It’s less than 60 seconds but it’s more potent than 60 ‘prayer prophets’

Its effect is long-lasting. The rewards are unquantifiable.

So before you set out tomorrow morning

Before you rush out to work by sunrise

Hold her hands. Pull him in a warm hug.

And speak. Just speak. Just say it as you want it.

Before you get out of that door

Decide what happens behind the door.

You don’t have to feel like it. Just speak.

You don’t have to be in the mood. Just speak.

Let your feelings catch up with your speakings

Let your mood line up with your declarations.

Do it till you feel it. Say it till you believe it

Just speak!

Stand in the middle of that room and let your mouth dance

Let it dance to the rhythm of your desired future

Let it sing the song of your expectations.

Open your mouth and speak!

And week in week out, you are sowing seeds

Week in week out you are making deposits.

The results may not be readily evident

The rewards may not be immediate

But like seeds, they are taking roots deep inside

And the shoots will come out in a matter of time.

First the blade, then the ear, then the full grain

It will be visible. It will be evident.

Sickness leaves you abode, hospital runs seize.

Peace unimaginable envelopes your home.

Progress unprecedented saturate your lives

Your love grows. Your bond thickens.

Your tie becomes stronger.

Your communication gets better.

Your understanding of each other peaks to new levels.

Before you get out of that door tomorrow morning

Decide what happens behind the door!

Speak!
