"Praying for Your Husband"

I strive daily to lift my husband in prayer because it's very important to me. It helps our relationship as one and my personal relationship with Christ.

God has placed him as leader of our family and home, it can be extremely heavy most times. I'm so thankful for his dedication for our marriage, our children and our walk with Christ.

As you all know, Satan attacks each one of us constantly! He's very good at what he does too! Sometimes way too good! Prayer, scripture reading and more prayer are the most important way to keep him at a distance!

I came across this on a ladies blog and LOVED it so much that I personalized it for Rob's needs. One of the most important jobs as a wife is to lift her husband up in daily prayer.

So please feel free to copy and make your own changes. God Bless!

My prayer for you, is that God works in your heart to pray for your husband as well, if you don't already. With the divorce rate at a high, prayer is needed more than ever!

Blessings and Love,
Hollie

My 25 Prayers for Rob

I pray....

1. that Rob continues to grow spiritually through the discipline of Bible study, prayer, and quiet times with You Lord. (Proverbs 4:23- Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.)
2. that his relationship with You will bear much fruit in his life, and that he will be a man who seeks Your wisdom and understanding. (Proverbs 3:7- Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Psalm 112:1- Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands.)
3. that Rob would walk humbly with You, and would always be convicted quickly about any sin in his life. (Micah 6:8- He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with the Lord.)
4. that Rob will continue to grow as the leader of our family, and that You would be glorified in our marriage. (Ephesians 5:25-29- Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church.)
5. that Rob would have a teachable spirit and a servant's heart, and that he will listen to You and desire to do Your will. (Proverbs 15:33- The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.)
6. that Rob would always look to the way of escape from any kind of temptation, and that he would rely on You Lord to remain faithful to our marriage, and to You. (1 Corinthians 10:13- No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.)
7. that Rob would safeguard his heart against inappropriate relationships with the opposite sex, and that his heart stays pure and undivided in his commitment to me and to our marriage. (Proverbs 6:23-25- For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life, keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.)
8. that Rob would continue to be able to provide for our family, and that he will not become discouraged by doing work he does not enjoy. (Colossians 3:23- Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.)
9. that money would never become a source of discord in our family, and that we would be wise in handling finances and in stewardship. (Luke 16:13- No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and money.)
10. that the words he speaks will build our family, and reflect a heart of love. (Proverbs 18:21- The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat it's fruit.)
11. that our physical intimacy would be a positive reflection of selfless love. (Song of Solomon 7:10- I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.)
12. that the men in Rob's life would encourage his accountability before You Lord, and that he would be a godly influence on his friends and coworkers. (Proverbs 13:20- He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 27:17-As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.)
13. that Rob will chose healthy foods and activities, and honor You by taking the best possible care of his body as the tabernacle of You Lord. (1 Corinthians 6:19- Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.)
14. for his strength – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. (Ephesians 3:16- I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His spirit in your inner being.)
15. for Rob to have wisdom and discernment in training/disciplining our children, and that You would enable him to love them unconditionally. (Ephesians 6:4- Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.)
16. that Rob would always have an eternal perspective, and make the most of however much time he has in this life. (Ephesians 5:16- Making the most in every opportunity, because the days are evil.)
17. that Rob would always be a man of peace, who allows the Holy Spirit to lead his responses in all situations. (Romans 14:19- Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.)
18. that Rob would have a balanced life in regards to work and play, and that he would submit his schedule to You Lord. (Proverbs 16:9- In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.)
19. for Rob to find favor with You, but also with people he knows and interacts with. (Luke 2:52- And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.)
20. that Rob will enjoy peace and refreshment in his relationship with You. (Psalm 16:11- You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.)
21. that Rob would always be courageous in his stand against evil and injustice, and that he will protect our family from Satan's attacks. (Ephesians 6:13- Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil come, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.)
22. that Rob would be a man of prayer, seeking You Lord in purposeful ways. (1 Thessalonians 5:17- Pray continually.)
23. that Rob will serve You Lord and others with pure motives, and that You would be glorified in everything he does. (Colossians 3:23-24- Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
24. That Rob would offer all his dreams to You Lord, and pursue only those that bring You glory, and that count for eternity. (Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”)
25. that Rob will recognize the lies of the enemy in his life, and that he will always be guided by the Truth. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5- The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.)
