A prayer for my dear friend and husband - "Father, give him the strength to be everything he's called to be. Oh Father, show him the way to lead me. Won't you lead him? May he lead me with strong hands and stand up when I can't. Don't let him leave me hungry for love; chasing things that he could give up. May he show me he's willing to fight; that I'm still the love of his life. So we can call this our home, teach him to lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone."
It is vital that our husbands receive our prayerful support. I encourage you to make intercession for him a priority. Lift him up before the Lord and pray that he will adopt the character and attitude of Christ. If you find that you have the desire to pray for him but don't quite know where to start, or feel you don't have the right words, I highly recommend and encourage you to get the book "Praying God's Will for My Husband" by Lee Roberts. You can buy it off amazon.com for $10.19. My sister in law gave me a copy when we were first married and it is something that I love referring to!! Praying scripture is always a good thing!!
