A Wife's Prayer for her Husband


I Peter 5:6   Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of  
God, that He may lift you up in due time.
 
Father God,  My heart's desire is to come before You holy and blameless, with a clean heart and pure hands.  How can I humble myself before You if I'm refusing to humble myself before my husband?   

Forgive me Lord, for fighting for my rights in my marriage.  Forgive me for pointing out my husband's shortcomings.  

Forgive me for my lack of honor and respect unto him.  

Give me a love for my husband that is "patient, kind, does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and  always perseveres." 

Lord, please refresh my commitment to my husband today.  Let me be his greatest support. Let the words of my mouth and  my actions show how much I treasure and value him.   Let me not  
withhold myself from him in any way-spiritually, emotionally or physically. 

Show me Father, his needs and let me place them before my own.  Show me how to love him the way that You intend for me to.    

Thank You for the gift of this wonderful man that You have given me!
 
Amen.

I PRAY FOR U MY FRIEND!A MARRIAGE IS A TWO WAY PROCESS, TWO PEOPLE SAID I DO TWO PEOPLE CAME BEFORE GOD , TWO PEOPLE FELL IN LOVE AND SAID YOU ARE WHO I WANT TO BE WITH , SOMETIMES AS WE LEARN AND GROW WITH ONE ANOTHER IT IS NOT AT ALL HOW WE EXPECTED IT TO BE, BUT WE TRY TRY TRY TO MAKE IT WORK AND IF ALL FAILS WE KNOW THAT WE GAVE OUR ALL. SOMETIMES YOU FIND THAT YOU ARE BETTER DATING FRIENDS THEN LIVING SOLE MATES, SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ONE ANOTHER, NO ONE SAYS ITS OVERNIGHT AND NO ONE EVER SAYS ITS EASY. BABY STEPS AND LEARNING IT IS A PROCESS.I PRAY THAT GOD GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH TO GET THROUGHT WHAT EVER IS HE IS LEADING YOU TO DO, I PRAY TYHAT YOU HAVE THE GUIDENCE THAT YOU NEED AND SEEK THE ANSWERS IN YOUR HEART.

I want to thank you for being so open and posting this. I too need to pray for our marriage and you have given me a "push" to do that. Again thank you and may God bless your marriage. ~Melanie~
