Take a moment with me ladies to lift up our husbands in prayer today. #prayer #prayingforhusband #marriage #christianmarriage @thankfulhomemaker

Inside: So often, we don’t know where to begin in praying for our husband. This scripture-based prayer has been one I pray for him daily. 

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

I’m so thankful to the Lord for the gift of my husband.  He 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.

The prayer below is one I have in my prayer notebook along with this one.

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 during 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. 


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.  


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

    I love this prayer and could not think of a better time to pray for my husband as we recover from Hurricane Irma. I discovered your post from Favorite Finds Friday link at A Narrow-Minded Woman! Glad to have made the connection!

I know we can all relate to self-pity as women, wi I know we can all relate to self-pity as women, wives, and mothers.  How many times do we focus on our needs that aren’t met?  Unfair situations or circumstances?  Self-pity is a selfish tendency that takes our eyes off Christ and puts them on ourselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We forget that “God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.” Are we able to give God “thanks in all things”?⁣⁣

"God's written Word, the Bible, is God's greatest "God's written Word, the Bible, is God's greatest earthly gift to his people, second only to the living Word, Jesus. And because the living Word perfectly lived out the written Word, we are blessed beyond measure. Jesus fulfilled every precept found in Psalm 119, keeping the principles and commandments of this psalm, and he did so on our behalf.⁣

Our failure to live wholeheartedly is covered by Jesus, who lived it perfectly for us. Ultimately, he is Psalm 119 in human form, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14)."⁣

I’m sharing a walkthrough of various tools and s I’m sharing a walkthrough of various tools and systems that help me to get things done. It’s a practical episode, and I hope to encourage you, if nothing else, to take a look at how your days are going and ask yourself some simple questions like:⁣
⁣
What is working and what is not working?⁣
Where do I find myself wasting time?⁣
Where can I make better use of my time?⁣
Can I simplify my days or various tasks or automate them?⁣
⁣
These are just a few questions to ponder, and there are many more you can ask, but the main one is to seek the Lord and ask him, are you a good steward of your time? Is your desire to honor Him amid your days and in how you spend your time?⁣
⁣
Many more than ten systems or tools help me manage my days, but these items top my list. I’ve shared more in detail on some of these in past blog posts or podcast episodes, but I wanted to put together an episode that walked through how I use each one.⁣
⁣
An episode like this one is more helpful to me than you because it helps me to think through my days and systems and tools and determine what is working for me and what isn’t.⁣
