WPB Week 8: His Choices

Lord, give my husband wisdom for every decision he makes. May he reverence You and Your ways and seek to know Your truth. Give him discernment to make godly decisions. I pray he will listen to godly counselors and be a man who is teachable. I pray he will do what is right rather than follow the leading of his own flesh. May he keep his eyes on you and desire to do Your will above all else. Amen

Proverbs 1:5 "A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel."

WPB: Week 7 His Purpose

Lord,

I pray that my husband will clearly hear the call You have on his life. Help him to realize who he is in Christ and give him certainty he was created for a high purpose. Enable him to walk worthy of his calling and remind him of what You've called him to be. Don't let him get sidetracked with things that are unessential to Your purpose.

Strike down discouragement so that it will not defeat him. Lift his eyes above the circumstances of the moment so he can see the purpose for which You created him. Give him patience to wait for Your perfect timing.

I pray that the desires of his heart will not be in conflict with the desires of Yours. May he seek You for direction and hear when You speak to his soul.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Ephesians 1:17-18 "The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory...give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints."

These prayers are from Stormie Omartian's book, The Power of a Praying Wife. You don't have to use that book to pray, but it helps me to focus on a topic instead of winging it. But the goal is just to pray for your husband, so please do what works best for you and intercede faithfully for him. :)

WPB: Week 6 His Fears

Lord,

You've said in Your Word that "there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18)

I pray You will perfect my husband in Your love so that fear finds no place in him. I know You have not given him a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

I pray in the name of Jesus that fear will not rule over my husband. Instead, may Your Word penetrate every fiber of his being, convincing him that Your love for him is far greater than anything he faces and nothing can separate him from it.

May he have no fear of men, but rise up and boldly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:6)

In Jesus' name I pray.

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." ~ Isaiah 41:10

"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them."  ~ Psalm 34:17

WPB Week 5: His Mind

Lord, I pray for Your protection on my husband's mind. Shield him from the lies of the enemy. Help him to clearly discern between your voice and any other, and show him how to take every thought captive as You have instructed. May he thirst for Your Word and hunger for Your truth so that he can recognize wrong thinking. Give him strength to resist every lying thought. Where the enemy's lies have already invaded his thought, cleanse his mind. Enable him to be transformed by the renewing of his mind (Romans 12:2). Help him to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let his requests be made known to You; and may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7). And finally, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, having virtue, or anything praiseworthy, let him think on these things (Phil. 4:8).

Amen.
