Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Stormie distinguishes between a wife worrying about finances and a wife praying about finances. What is the practical difference between those two responses? Which one do you find yourself defaulting to?
2.The chapter addresses the pressure many husbands feel as financial providers. Even in households where both spouses work, many men carry a deep sense of responsibility for the family's financial security. How aware are you of that weight in your husband? How might your prayers acknowledge and address it?
3.Stormie encourages praying for a husband's wisdom in financial decisions — that he would be neither reckless nor fearful with money. Think of a specific financial decision your household is facing or has recently faced.
a.Have you prayed specifically about it? Why or why not?
b.What would it look like to submit that decision to God in prayer before, during, and after the conversation with your husband?
