praying for our husbands



today i would like to stay on the same topic as yesterday but concerning our husbands. just like we should be praying for our children, we should also be lifting up our husbands. i tend to always pray for my husbands safety because he commutes to work. he also leaves very early in the morning. but we should also be praying for them spiritually.

1. if your husband is not a believer pray first of all for their salvation!

2. pray for their spiritual growth and walk with God

3. our husbands have a huge responsibility before the Lord as the spiritual leader of the home, the spiritual leader of the children and as the wifes covering. pray for their strength in these ares. if they dont have a walk with God they cant be performing strongly in these areas.

4. lift them up as the providers of the home. pray for a hard working spirit and good health so they can bear this responsibility.

5. pray for protection from the world. from the influences of the world. to remain pure in thoughts and actions.

6. as they are out in the workforce all day, we should pray that they work for God and not man. having a good reputation at work and letting His light shine before men.
7. pray that they are good example for their boys as they are growing and watching how dad does things. and also a good example for his girls as they too are watching and will someday look for a husband like their dad.

i count it my priveledge to get to go before God on my husbands behalf. what an eternal way to show how much we love, respect and are grateful for what they do for their families!
