What does the lemonade pic have to do with this post? Um, nothing really. . .but isn't it cute?!? So colorful and happy!
Okay, so, what I like about this week's prayer is that it starts with us and our priorities before addressing those of our husbands. It seems to be effortless to notice how out of alignment someone else's priorities are, while justifying my own well-intentioned (yet off-kilter focus). I know, I know, I need to get the log out of my own eye! :)
God,
I proclaim You Lord over my life. Help me to seek You first every day and set my priorities in perfect order. Reveal to me how to properly put my (future) husband before children, work, family, friends, activities, and interests. Show me what I can do right now to demonstrate to him that he has this position in my heart. Mend the times I have caused him to doubt that. Tell me how to prioritize everything so that whatever steals life away. or has no lasting purpose, will not occupy my time.
I pray for my husband's priorities to be in perfect order as well. Be Lord and Ruler over his heart. Help him to choose a simplicity of life that will allow him to have time along with You, Lord, a place to be quiet in Your presence every day. Speak to him about making Your Word, prayer, and praise a priority. I pray that he will seek You first and submit his all to You, for when he does I know the other pieces of his life will fit together perfectly.
Amen
