War Room by Chris Fabry
Week 4: Elizabeth's Surrender — Fighting For, Not Against
Read the chapters depicting Elizabeth's growing commitment to prayer and her decision to fight for her marriage rather than against her husband. Key Scripture: Romans 12:21; Ephesians 6:18
The turning point for Elizabeth is not a changed circumstance — it is a changed posture. This week, pay close attention to what surrender actually looks like in practice.
