Prayer and Husbands

As a wife, are we not given the privilege and responsibility to keep our husband (or future husband) at the top of our prayer list? This is concept that is not often thought about. We often are prompted to pray for our lives, our worries, a big decision, a sick or hurting friend, etc. How much more important should it be that we lift our husbands (or future husband) in prayer every day? Paul wrote that we should all pray for each other, Ephesians 6:18. This has been on my mind for some time now and I thought putting it into writing would be great for anyone else who has been feeling the same way.

Satan seeks to destroy Godly marriage in every way he can. However I believe prayer is powerful and we can beat Satan in his endeavors. All we need is to trust God everyday as we surrender our husbands and marriage to God. One way I am going to build this concept into my day to day is to start with a great concept I found on the blog below.

This post speaks to praying everyday, for 31days, for a different aspect of my husband, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I think this is a great starter for when you aren’t sure what to pray. It gives a direction to go in. I can’t wait to see how God uses this to bless my husband.

Day 1:

            Pray that your husband will grow spiritually and consider his accountability before the Lord. Pray that he will guard his heart by developing spiritual disciplines—Bible reading and study, prayer, meditation, scripture memorization, etc. (2 Peter 3:18; Prov. 4:23)

I also found this great list:

A great way to keep track of your prayers is to journal. Keep a record of your prayers and see how God answers them and works in your Husbands life and your marriage. Find time to pray for your husband this week. Bend God's ear for the man in your life and lift him up. 

Scripture of the Week: April 20, 2014

The Great Commission. After Jesus rose from the dead, He gave the first disciples a mission, a calling for their lives. I feel like we often forget this command Jesus gave and need to be reminded, so that we can remember our calling to continue in our own lives.

Scripture of the Week: April 6, 2014

Pregnancy is hard on a relationship, a marriage. Not enough sleep, stress, and high emotion can lead to hurtful words, anger, or even the feelings of discontent. As I read this verse I know this will be a scripture that will help us through the final leg of time before Ayden is born. ALWAYS keep God at the center of it all. Never doubt his healing power and the overwhelming peace only He can bring into your life.

Scripture of the Week : February 23, 2014

Psalms 61:2
     "From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
                           when my heart is overwhelmed;
                                              lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Scripture of the Week: February 9, 2014

Becoming Parents is not something God wants us to fear or be anxious over. It is a privilege and a gift that should be celebrated! I only pray I am up for the task God has presented in front of me. This verse reminds me that HE is prepping me for this new journey.

“For God has not

given us a spirit of fear,

but of power and of love

and of a sound mind.”

2 Timothy 1:7

Scripture of the Week : February 2, 2014

My Scripture this week comes from Psalms 29:11

"The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace."

This past week, while hectic and busy with church, work, and other activities, has had me pondering on the fact that God will never give us what we can not handle, nor will He give us strife when it is His will. He provides a peace when we are given an answer that is different than we expected.

Scriptiure for the Week : January 26th, 2014

I'm sorry everyone for not being on top of this weekly post. My goal is to have a new scripture every Sunday so that we can all think upon it throughout the week.

This weeks verse is from Philippians 4:6
               
                 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in   
                       EVERYTHING by prayer and petition with 
                               Thanksgiving present your requests to God." 

Scripture for the Week January 5th, 2014

I have decided to pick a scripture to pray over my baby throughout my pregnancy. The scripture my husband and I chose is Psalms 139:14


                                   "I will Praise you for I am fearfully and Wonderfully made; your works are   wonderful, I know that full well."
