A Prayer for Your Wife

Prayer For Your Wife

Father, I thank You for (insert name) who delights herself in You. Your Spirit rests upon her - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power; the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

Thank You, Father, that (insert name) is loving, patient and kind. She is not envious, boastful, proud, rude, or self-seeking. She is not easily angered and never keeps a record of my wrongs. She is quick to forgive. She rejoices when righteousness and truth prevail.

She always speaks well of me and believes the best of me. She always hopes and perseveres because You, Lord, are her primary focus.

Father, because we love You first and foremost and are submitted to You as the Head of the Church, we are committed and submitted to one another, daily maturing in the oneness You meant to exist in our relationship.

In (insert name) tongue is life and not death. She strengthens our relationship by speaking Your Word, Lord, in the face of any circumstance. She is never degrading or intimidating, but always uplifts, edifies and encourages.

Thank You, Father, that my mate is a peacemaker. She refuses to allow strife, envy, or selfishness in our marriage and home. Because our home is a haven of love, peace and harmony, our prayers are not hindered and Your blessings are overtaking us, Lord.

Thank You, Father, for helping us to mature in You and in our relationship with one another. Amen.

Day 2 of the Love Dare Love Is Kind

Day 2 – Love is Kind

Ephesians 4:32 “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

My Notes:

The dare today is to do an unexpected gesture or act of kindness for my wife.

“Patience avoids a problem; kindness creates a blessing.”
One is preventative, the other proactive.”

I have never seen anyone as kind as my wife. Her kindness is genuine and attracts my attention. Her kindness has truly been a blessing to our marriage and home. This is one of the things that I believe is what causes our marriage to be so good.

What act of kindness did I show today? I asked the Lord and he told me this….Prov. 31:28 “Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” I sat Kathy down and told her what a wonderful wife she was how much I appreciated her for ALL the things she does. I praised her and told her how much I loved her. It’s not often I praise her. I will praise her more often to show kindness.
