I was challenged once when I heard an older, wiser wife say, "If you're
not praying for your husband, then who is?" And it stopped me in my
tracks. If I'm not praying for Sam - his heart, his character, his
faithfulness, his courage, his purity, his relationships, his
direction....then who is? Praying for our husbands is not only our
responsibility but it is an enormous privilege! And not only will
praying for our husbands empower them to live the life God intended, but
we will enjoy the benefits of a deeper relationship with our spouses as
we experience God's favor and grace that He so kindly pours out all
over those who seek Him.
Proverbs 14:1 says that a wise woman builds her home. I believe that
every single prayer for my husband is like a brick being laid, like I'm
helping build a solid foundation and a fortress of protection around
him, us, and our family. I want to be a wise wife who builds my home,
who prays God's power into my husband, who seeks a deeper relationship with my
spouse, and who enjoys God's favor! Don't you?!
-THE PRAYER-
This week let's pray for our husbands to run the race of life with endurance and proper focus. Print off this 4x6 card and join me!
