A Prayer for my Husband

I thank You for this day for it is the day You have made and I shall rejoice and be glad in it. Lord, I praise You for Your Word which shall not return void, but shall go forth and accomplish Your purpose and prosper in the thing for which You sent it. (Is. 55:11)

Lord, forgive me for accepting mediocrity in areas of my life. I ask You to reveal to me the areas where I need to press in and come up higher to excellence so that I may be fulfilled.

Lord, I plead that William [as a person of ripe character & clear conviction stand firm and mature in spiritual growth & convinced & fully assured in everything will by You--O God. (Col 4:12). I pray William will set his mind on things above, not on earthly things (Col. 3:2). I pray William will love me, his wife [be affectionate & sympathetic with me] and not be harsh or bitter or resentful toward me (Col 3:19).

I pray William & I will not provoke our children or irritate or harass them so they won't become discouraged & sullen & morose & feel inferior & frustrated (Col 3:21). I pray William & I will seek first Your kingdom & Your righteousness & all those things will be given to us. And that we not worry about tomorrow. (Matt 6:33-34).

Lord, I ask for You to fill William & I with the knowledge of Your will through all spiritual wisdom & understanding. I pray that we will live a life worthy of You Lord & please You in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of You O God, being strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might so that we may have great endurance & patience and joyfully giving thanks to You Lord who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. (Col 1:9-13)

Lord I pray that the eyes of William & my heart may be enlightened in order that we may know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and Your incomparably great power for us who believe. (Eph. 1:18-19)

Lord, I pray that William will live with me his wife & treat me with respect as the weaker partner & as heir with him as the gracious gift of life so that nothing will hinder his prayers (1Peter3:7). I pray that William & I will live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate & humble & not repay evil with evil or insult for insult, but with blessing because we were called so we may inherit a blessing. (1 Peter 3:8-9)

Lord I pray William & I will let no unwholesome talk come out of our mouths, but only that which is helpful for building each other up according to our needs that it may benefit those who listen. And may not grieve the Holy Spirit of God for whom we were sealed for the day of redemption. That we get rid of all bitterness, rage, & anger, brawling, & slander, along with every malice. That we will be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave us and that we will be imitators of God and live a life of love. (Eph. 4:29 and 5:2)

I praise You Lord & Your will be done!
In Jesus Name, Amen
