E40 The 7 R's of Restoration

You can pray for restoration every morning and still not be ready for it. 

After almost 20 years of standing with women who are believing God for their marriages, I keep seeing the same 7 things in the wife before her breakthrough ever comes. Not in the prodigal. In her. This is not a formula, and I am not promising that checking 7 boxes brings your husband home by Christmas. But in every restoration I have watched actually hold, these 7 were already at work in the standing wife. God is not restoring just a marriage. He is restoring people, and He seems to start with the one who is listening.
