Confession: Today’s topic is probably one of the most challenging personal goals for me in 2014. It’s not because I don’t want to pray for my husband but that I often get distracted. I confess, there are plenty of occasions these days when I pray that my mind is left wondering what to pray, sleep prevails, or else my mind wanders to something else I need to be doing on my day’s checklist.
Yet, if there is one thing you can do to impact your husband more than any other, it’s prayer. YOU can’t change your husband. But GOD can. YOU can’t help your husband overcome whatever obstacles he’s facing. But GOD can. YOU can’t change your husband’s heart. But GOD can. GOD. CAN.
Praying is a discipline. For some its easier than others. For me, at this stage in my life, it’s a challenge. That’s why I have come to appreciate prayer guides to help me stay focused and intentional with my prayer time when life swirls around me. My hope is that one or more of these prayer guides below will help you in much the same way as you strive to intentionally love your man through prayer.
