31 Days of Prayer: Day 4

 

We are called to pray for our husbands (and for those of us who desire to have a husband one day, we need to be in prayer for him too).

The busyness of life can sure sidetrack us from getting into great communication with God, especially for our husbands. Check out today's prayer, and make it a habit.

 

"Day 4: Pray that your husband will grow in leadership skills that glorify the Lord. Pray that he'll be the protector and provider for you and your family. Pray that he'll lead you wisely and love you sacrificially, so that God will have the glory in your marriage."

31 Days of Prayer: Day 3

As we continue to pray for our husbands (or future husbands), remember to let this process change your heart as well. Prayer is a powerful, humbling act, and it can move mountains if you have the faith to allow it. Here is today's prayer:

 

"Day Three: Pray that your husband will be receptive to the voice of God with a humble heart. Pray that he'll be able to recognize and apply the things God tells him about sin and correction."

Why is this important? When your husband has a heart of humility that can take critique well, he will be able to live a life open and receptive to you, family and most importantly God. A heart of stone is hard to break, and the attitude will be a tough one to deal with. It is important that all of us have a humble heart, receptive to God's will and direction in our lives.

31 Days of Prayer: Day 1

As wives or future wives, we have the humbling opportunity to prayer for our husbands, or future husbands on a regular basis. We are called to do what is best for him.
Proverbs 31: 11-12

The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life. 

 In covering him with protection and love, prayer is a HUGE way of fulfilling this commitment. Many of the ideas and prayer shared in this challenge are taken from fellow bloggers. A few of the ideas are new and straight from my heart and experiences too. Please join me as we as ladies of virtue participate in covering our men and future men in prayer. Allow God to do the work in your own heart as well.

"Day 1

Pray that your husband will develop or keep developing a heart for the Bible and prayer. Pray he’ll long for that time with God on a daily basis. Pray that he grows in the Lord through the meditation and reading he does. Ask God to give him a desire to be held accountable in this. "

Why is this important? Your husband is, or will be, the spiritual leader of your home. If he has no desire for the Bible or for growing in his spiritual life, this could present some difficulties in keeping your home growing in this area too. Pray that God will place a longing to grow in Him through reading the scriptures, praying and finding accountability.  Pin It

Isaac and Rebekah

The story of Isaac and how he came to find Rebekah as his wife is quite amazing (Genesis 24). This is one of the most romantic stories in the Bible. Isaac falls deeply in love with a girl he hasn't even met before. There is so much to take away from this story!

1) God values us enough to provide for us on His time. Do we trust Him enough to let Him work in this way in our lives? Ladies, why do we put whatever on the line for guys? Why do we long to have them in our lives on our time, which is usually as soon as possible? Do we not know how the love of God will provide for us and know what is best for us? When Abraham prays for his son to find a woman who shares in his values and beliefs, he knows that God will provide. His servant asks him "what if I can't find a woman for your son?" Abraham replies convinced that the mission will be successful. This kind of faith is great. He knows that God cares enough for him and his family, that a wife will be found for his son. He has already seen such amazing provision in his family.

2) Waiting for a partner who is not just "good enough". Rebekah was a hard-working, compassionate woman. Abraham's servant saw this right away when she asks him if he's like some water. She shows great hospitality on him. It was quite obvious that this woman was very good for Isaac. Her faith and belief matched up with his, and she served with a happy heart. How can we settle for "good enough" over "great"? Ladies, you are more valuable than that. Don't bring anyone into your life who will tell you and treat you otherwise. If he doesn't respect your beliefs, your time, your body - he is NOT for you.

3) God will show you what is right. When Rebekah saw Isaac for the first time out in the fields, she was immediately in love with him. Isaac loved her deeply. If you find your "Mr. Right", who matched up to your expectations biblically and emotionally, God will show you it's right. Just because you have feelings for a guy who has the looks but an awful personality and beliefs that don't match yours, I can guarantee you that he is not the one God wants you to be with. God's Will is always good and in the best intentions of protecting you and your heart. Make sure you are doing your part in taking care of you too.

Learn from God's Word. Use it. Heed it. Follow it. Love it. It has so much to show you! Pin It
