Praying For Our Husbands

The following is an excerpt from Mrs. Terrie Chappell’s book, “It’s a Wonderful Life” from the chapter titled  “Praying For Your Husband”. It was shared at our ladies meeting last week – I thought I would share it today…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can pray for your husband in a variety of ways. How you pray for him, however, is not as important as consistently and frequently lifting Him up before the Lord.

Pray for your husband’s specific needs. The following list may help as you develop a greater and more detailed prayer life for your husband. Pray:

That he will be Spirit-filled

That he will have a strong walk with the Lord

That he will have a productive day

That God will bless his appointments

That he will be able to handle the stress of the day

That God will give him wisdom in counseling

That he would have a sense of fulfillment

That he would have sufficient study time

That God will strengthen him in his burdens

That God will protect him from temptation

That God will give protection from anyone  wanting to hurt him

That God will protect his reputation

That he will be healthy – keep him well

That God will heal him if he is sick

For his responsibilities

For his priorities

That he will be a good leader

For those that he leads

For his role as a father

For safety as he travels

For refreshment as he travels

For no delays as he travels

That God will make him strong where he is weak

That God will give him the courage to make right choices

That he will be encouraged

For his vision

That God will direct his path

That he will be fruitful

For his friends

For safety from any danger

That he would maintain balance in all his roles

For sermons he is preparing

That God will safeguard his heart

That he will continue to love righteousness and hate wickedness

That he will have self-control

That he will have peace and joy

That God will give him wisdom in disciplining the children

That he will recognize the lies of the enemy

Obviously, some of these are ministry-related, but the majority of the list can certainly be applied to any Christian wife who desires to lift their husband up to the Lord in prayer.
