Pray for your Husband

Here is a prayer that I found somewhere on the web that I have been using to lift up my husband every day. It has helped me to have it posted where I get ready in the morning. This way I can pray for the most important person in my life and get ready for my day at the same time. Multitasking! It is a must as a mom :)

Dear Lord, I pray for my husband, from head to toe.

His Head - That he will look to You as Lord of his life. (1 Corinthians 11:13)
His Mind - That he will have the mind of Christ and think as the Holy Spirit would lead him and not the flesh. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
His Eyes - That You will keep his eyes from temptation and that he will turn his eyes from sin. (Matthew 6:13, Mark 9:47)
His Ears - That he will hear Your still small voice instructing him. (1 Kings 19:12, Psalm 32:8)
His Mouth - That his words will be pleasing to You. (Proverbs 19:14)
His Neck - That he will humble himself before You and be strong, courageous, and careful to do everything written in Your Word so that he will be prosperous and successful. (James 4:10, Joshua 1:8-9)
His Heart - That he will love and trust You with his whole heart. (Deuteronomy 6:5, Proverbs 3:5)
His Arms - That You will be his strength. (Psalm 73:26)
His Hands - That he will enjoy the work of his hands and see it as a gift from You. (ecclesiastes 3:13, 5:19)
His Feet - That You will order his steps and that he will walk in Your truth. (Proverbs 4:25, Psalm 26:3)

If you want to use this print it out now! If you are anything like me you will forget as soon as you are done reading this! Make sure to pray for your husband every day. You can add specific areas to the bottom of this prayer and it will keep your husbands prayer needs before you on a daily basis. This has been so good for me to see every day and to lift him up.

This is great, Jodi. I have prayed for Charlie this way but never thought of praying for Dustin like that. Thanks for the encouragement!
