Week 8: His Health

Praying over this topic for my future husband convicted me. My health needs to be a priority out of obedience to the Lord and as a gift to my future husband. I look at my parents (both almost 60 years old) and marvel at how active and healthy they are. They enjoy such a full fun-filled life because of the healthful choices they make daily. I worked out with my mom yesterday and try as I might, I couldn't catch up with her! More than keeping up with her, I want a healthy lifestyle to be something my husband and I enjoy together, so that our kids will have fun and energetic parents to chase them around. :)

Lord, I pray for Your healing touch on (husband's name). Wherever there is anything out of balance, set it in perfect working order. Heal him of any disease, illness, injury, infirmity or weakness. Strengthen his body to successfully endure his workload, and when he sleeps may he wake up completely rested, rejuvenated, and refreshed. I pray that he will have the desire to take care of his body, to eat the kind of food that brings health, to get regular exercise, and avoid anything that would be harmful to him. Help him to understand that his body is Your temple and he should care for it as such (1 Corinthians 3:16).
