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.

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...

Protecting His Peace: A Call to Honor and Understanding

Dear ladies, the dynamics of a relationship require intentionality, wisdom, and respect. While it might seem harmless to test your man’s patience or commitment through attitudes or expensive jokes, these actions can unintentionally erode his trust and diminish his sense of security in the relationship. Proverbs 14:1 says, "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands, the foolish one tears hers down." Your words and actions have the power to either nurture the bond you share or create unnecessary tension. A man treasures peace of mind more than anything else in a relationship. It is in an atmosphere of peace that he feels safe to love, to commit, and to build with you. Proverbs 21:19 warns, "Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife." This verse emphasizes the importance of creating a peaceful environment. Constantly testing his patience or making him feel disrespected undermines his emotional stability and pushes him...
