Prayer is a key element in a successful marriage. When you put God at the center of your relationship, nothing can break you apart.

Yes, there are times when you ask yourself if this is still worth it. Sometimes, you just find yourself wondering whether you should stay or just end it all. But such moments are common in all marriages. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows as what the movies would lead you to believe. All couples go through worse times at some point in their marriage. There are even times when you’ll question whether you made the right decision in marrying him.

This is why a wife’s prayer for her husband is very powerful. When you pray for your husband, the Holy Spirit will work through your marriage and enlighten your hearts to see God’s will more clearly. It helps you gain wisdom and clarity of mind to see each other as God wanted you to. Praying for your husband is also a way of letting God work through him and fulfill His plans for him and your entire family.

To help you get started, here are some prayers you can use to pray for your husband.

Prayer for Provision

Dear God,

Your word says that you will provide for our every need. I believe in your promise. Please provide for all of my husband’s needs: physical, spiritual, financial, and emotional. Help him to feel your blessings in his life and help him to learn to depend on you for all things. Chase away his worries and teach him that you are faithful to take care of our needs. And please help me to do the same, trusting in you more and more. Amen.

Prayer for Protection Against Temptation

Father,

I entrust you my husband, Your unique creation. You’ve promised to fill his soul with what he needs and I ask You to do just that. Please guard his heart and mind. Protect him from temptation and fill him up with the good things he needs so he can become the husband and father that you intend him to be. All these I ask in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Prayer of Gratitude

Lord,

I just want to thank You for giving him to me and me to him. You knew what You were doing all along. His traits that used to drive me crazy are now the strengths that fill in where I struggle. His traits that used to seem like weakness are now the places You’ve allowed me to shine. We complement each other. When I let You be the glue, we’re stronger together than we ever were apart. I can’t thank you enough for putting my husband in my life. Amen.

Prayer for a Strong Marriage

Lord,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the blessing of marriage. I am so glad you gave me such a wonderful husband whom I treasure so deeply. Please help me to never take him for granted and continue to love him to the best of my abilities. Help me to love him as you love us. God, please bless our marriage in abundance. Help us to be a reflection of your love for us and help us always to seek you first in our marriage. Help us to grow stronger in love each and every day, and to always prioritize our marriage. Help us each to be selfless spouses who seek to bless and give to one another. And help us do all this to your glory Lord. Amen.

You inhabit the praises of Your people, and I want him to enjoy the comfort and power of Your presence every moment. So, Father, please grant him an irrevocable gift of praising You. Let Your Spirit continually offer up a sacrifice of praise through him so that his lips always acknowledge Your name. Amen.

May he always remain the kindhearted man I know him to be. Amen.

Prayer for Patience

Lord,

Living with me isn’t always fun. Even in the best circumstances, nerves can get rubbed raw. I know I’m not the easiest person to be with. Give my husband Your heart when it comes to me. Let him see me the way You do. When he gets frustrated, fill him with patience. Grant him the wisdom and willingness to understand why I do or say the things I say. And then turn around and do the same for me. May patience reign in our marriage until death do us part. Amen.

Prayer for Strength and Encouragement

Today, I pray for my husband to have the strength to go about his day. Help him to remember that his strength and grace comes from you. Help us all to remember that all of our good gifts come from you, Heavenly Father. When he feels weak, please remind him of your love and your support. May he also remember my undying love and support for him at times when he needs someone to lean on. Help me to be the wife that he needs me to be. Amen.

Prayer For Your Husband to Be a Good Father

Lord,

Thank you for showing us what fatherly love should be. You are the epitome of fatherhood and how fathers should love their children. I humbly ask you to help my husband learn from your parenting example. Please help my husband to grow as a father. May he become more generous, patient, and encouraging, just as you are. Let him know how much we love, trust, respect him just as we do you. Help me become the best partner for him too so together, we can raise our children in your ways. May our children know Your heavenly love personally and experience it through their earthly father. Amen.

Some are more appropriate for large-scale projects than others. Likewise, others are better for DIY projects. In this article, we’ll be going over the ten most common types of concrete. Why concrete?

25 Encouraging Bible Verses About Self Control

Image
Originally published on  laycistercians.com Self-control is defined in the dictionary as the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in the face of temptation. In the bible, it is listed as one of the fruits of the spirit – a sign that Christ is in us. So it’s no wonder that bible verses about self-control are in no short supply. Aside from being a sign that Jesus dwells in us, self-control is also a symbol that we surrender ourselves to Him. For if we let Him take the wheel, mastering our thoughts and emotions will be so much easier. If we focus our sights on Him, we won’t be trifled with inconsequential things. But if we let our desires get the better of us, living a godly life would be next to impossible. This is why many Christian values have their roots in self-control. Patience, for example, happens when we learn to control our responses to people and situations. Having self-control also allows us to reign in our greed, gluttony, pride, anger, lust, and envy.
