Pray For Your Husband



Lord, help me to be a good wife. I fully realize that I don’t

have what it takes to be one without Your help. Take my
selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn them into
kindness, long-suffering, and the willingness to bear all things.
Take my old emotional habits, mind-sets, automatic reactions,
rude assumptions, and self-protective stance, and make me
patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Take
the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with Your
battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me
Your love, peace, and joy (Galatians 5:22-23). I am not able to
rise above who I am at this moment. Only You can transform
me.
Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with
regard to my husband. I confess the times I’ve been unloving,
critical, angry, resentful, disrespectful, or unforgiving toward
him. Help me to put aside any hurt, anger, or disappointment I
feel and forgive him the way You do—totally and completely,
no looking back. Make me a tool of reconciliation, peace, and
healing in this marriage. Enable us to communicate well and
rescue us from the threshold of separation where the realities
of divorce begin.
Make me my husband’s helpmate, companion, champion,
friend, and support. Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe
place for him to come home to. Teach me how to take care of
myself and stay attractive to him. Grow me into a creative and
confident woman who is rich in mind, soul, and spirit. Make me
the kind of woman he can be proud to say is his wife.
I lay all my expectations at Your cross. I release my
husband from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I
should be looking to You. Help me to accept him the way he is
and not try to change him. I realize that in some ways he may
never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in
ways I never thought he could. I leave any changing that
needs to be done in Your hands, fully accepting that neither of
us is perfect and never will be. Only You, Lord, are perfect, and
I look to You to perfect us.
Teach me how to pray for my husband and make my
prayers a true language of love. Where love has died, create
new love between us. Show me what unconditional love really
is and how to communicate it in a way he can clearly perceive.
Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement about
everything (Amos 3:3). May the God of patience and comfort
grant us to be like-minded toward one another, according to
Christ Jesus (Romans 15:5). Make us a team, not pursuing
separate, competitive, or independent lives, but working
together, overlooking each other’s faults and weaknesses for
the greater good of the marriage. Help us to pursue the things
which make for peace and the things by which one may edify
another (Romans 14:19). May we be “perfectly joined together
in the same mind and in the same judgment” (1 Corinthians
1:10).
I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will
grow stronger and more passionate every day. Enable him to be
the head of the home as You made him to be, and show me how
to support and respect him as he rises to that place of
leadership. Help me to understand his dreams and see things
from his perspective. Reveal to me what he wants and needs
and show me potential problems before they arise. Breathe
Your life into this marriage.
Make me a new person, Lord. Give me a fresh perspective, a
positive outlook, and a renewed relationship with the man
You’ve given me. Help me see him with new eyes, new
appreciation, new love, new compassion, and new acceptance.
Give my husband a new wife, and let it be me.
In Jesus’ name I pray.

Message for Godly Women

In a world that often emphasizes marriage as the ultimate goal for women, it's essential to remember our inherent worth and the unique purpose that God has designed for each of us. While marriage is undoubtedly a beautiful aspect of life, it is not the sole measure of our value or fulfillment. As Godly women, we are called to recognize and embrace the original purpose and assignment that God has placed upon our lives. Marriage may be a phase, but it is not the entirety of our existence. Our identity and significance are rooted in our relationship with our Creator, not in our marital status. Too often, societal pressures and cultural expectations lead us to prioritize finding a spouse above all else. We may even find ourselves building our entire future around the idea of marriage, neglecting the unique gifts, talents, and passions that God has entrusted to us. But let us remember that God has created each of us with a divine purpose, one that extends far beyond the confines of marr...

20 Toxic Ways Women Test a Man in Relationships and Their Harmful Impact

Relationships are meant to be built on trust, love, and mutual respect, especially when pursuing a Godly relationship. However, even the most well-intentioned women can sometimes fall into the trap of testing a man in ways that are toxic and harmful to the relationship. These behaviors, though they may seem like a way to gauge a man’s commitment or strength, can backfire, causing damage to the bond you’re trying to nurture. Let’s explore 20 ways women might test a man, play with his intelligence or toil with his heart and feelings with the negative effects these actions can have on his commitment. 1. Being Late Intentionally You might think that being fashionably late is harmless, but consistently showing up late can test his patience. While you might be checking to see how he handles waiting, over time, this can lead to feelings of disrespect and resentment, making him question whether you truly value his time and presence. 2. Bringing Up Past Relationships Mentioning your ex-boyfrien...

Your Gender is Unique

Grace and peace be multiplied to you. As daughters of the Most High, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, each one uniquely designed for a divine purpose in Christ. Your gender is not a limitation but a beautiful expression of God's intentional creation. In a world that often seeks to redefine and diminish the significance of womanhood, I encourage you to stay rooted in the truth of your identity as daughters of God. Embrace the depth of your value, for you are chosen, set apart, and endowed with unique strengths to fulfill your God-given assignment. Remember that your purpose transcends societal expectations and norms. You are not confined by earthly standards but called to a higher purpose in Christ. Stay conscious of your original assignment — to reflect the love, grace, and strength of your Heavenly Father in all that you do. As you navigate life's journey, let the light of Christ shine through you. Your unique design is not a mistake; it is a masterpiece crafted by the ...
