So thankful to the Lord for the gift of my husband.  He truly is a man who loves the Lord and desires to do all things to please Him.  

May I remind him today how much I love him, honor him and respect him.  

May I do him good and not harm all the days of his life and always offer him my best in everything.  I pray that I will always be his faithful helper.

Take a moment with me ladies to lift up our husbands in prayer today:

Lord may He love you with all his heart, mind and strength.  

I pray he would delight in Your law and that You would open his eyes to the truths in Your Word.  

Guide Him Lord to walk by the strength of Your spirit and keep Him in constant communion with You.  

Give him the desire to please You in all things and give him the endurance to run the race You have set before him.  

May he have wisdom and strength to lead his family in Your ways and continue to help him manage his time well with all the various tasks he needs to take care of in the day.  

May he always have an eternal perspective on the gifts You have given us to be used to further Your kingdom and that we would not build treasures on earth but in heaven.  

Give him a humble spirit and help him to be “quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger”.  

May he continue to share your goodness and love with his children and children’s children so they will know the love their father and grandfather had for You. 

“No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.”

~ C.H. Spurgeon


Give him a continuing passion for the lost and keep the truths of the Gospel on the tip of his tongue so he is always ready to give an answer for the hope that is in him.   

Keep his eyes and heart and mind pure Lord and help him to have wise and good biblical discernment.  

May You surround him with other men who love You and will be an encouragement to him in his walk with You.

“It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.”

~ John Stott

 

I thank you Lord for him and pray that I would truly do him good all the days of his life and be a good helper to my husband.  

I ask these things in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Amen

Prayer requires effort. When we pray for people, we focus our thoughts on them; we take their burdens upon ourselves; we intercede before God for them; we sacrifice our time for them; we commit ourselves to their wellbeing. We demonstrate true care and compassion.

~ Alexander Strauch

 

I pray he would delight in Your law and that You would open his eyes to the truths in Your Word. Click to Tweet

What do you think of when you hear the word discer What do you think of when you hear the word discernment? The dictionary defines it as making a distinction between good and evil and truth and falsehood. As believers, we all desire to be discerning and wise in our choices. As we mature and grow in our knowledge of the scriptures, the hope is we will use that information to make choices in line with God's will.⁣
⁣
We become discerning people by not just knowing what to think but how to think. Being spiritually discerning is an ability to see the world the way God does. This comes about as we grow and mature spiritually into the likeness of Christ. It is about seeing “All That's Good.”⁣

“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench i “Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn’t waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”⁣

As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding mysel As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near.  It has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him, I gave up my “right” to be in charge. The reality is we never were in charge anyway; we just came to that understanding when the Lord opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives.⁣
⁣
Even though it is a truth I know or we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations?⁣
⁣
Waiting is hard because there is no guarantee that my waiting will end in this lifetime. One thing I have learned – my waiting has deepened my trust in the Lord and has helped me to develop patience, perseverance, and endurance.⁣
⁣
It’s also given me different eyes to see with compassion others who are in a season of waiting.⁣

Six questions I have written in my Bible that have Six questions I have written in my Bible that have been a help to me over the years may be a help to you, too, to be prayerful and slow to speak. These are helpful questions not just in our friendships but in our marriages and with our children, and truly any of our relationships:⁣
⁣
1. Is this the time to say this?⁣
2. Am I the person to say this?⁣
3. Is it necessary?⁣
4. Is it true?⁣
5. Is it kind?⁣
6. Do I need to say this?⁣

Listen in to EP 140: Threats to Biblical Friendship at the link in my profile @thankfulhomemaker (click on the link under the blue arrows and then this image)
We all know that fostering true biblical friendshi We all know that fostering true biblical friendship isn’t easy – it takes work. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that we’re going to have trouble in this world, and trouble does touch all our lives in various areas, but this includes our friendships too.⁣
⁣
We’ll be hurt; we’ll be the ones hurting others; selfishness is a battle; jealousy and envy raise their ugly heads; we have our fears and insecurities, failed expectations, the damage our tongues do to one another, not appropriating the gospel and these all come from hearts that are still battling sin. ⁣
⁣
So when these threats to our friendship with one another in Christ come up, it shouldn’t surprise us that we have these issues, but what we need to keep at the forefront of our minds is how we respond and deal with them when they do come up. ⁣
⁣
I want to walk us through some of these threats, and this list I’m working with isn’t exhaustive – there are many more threats than what I am addressing today – but these are areas that stood out to me that have been a battle within some of my friendships over the years. Sadly, it is often the sin I’m battling in my heart, and I need to get my thinking, attitudes, and actions lined up with God’s Word.⁣
