Ways to Pray for your Spouse

I recently found this website...Mentoring Moments. She has so many wonderful articles, but this one caught me eye. I have a wonderful guide for praying for my children that I use. I have been using The Power of a Praying Wife too. I think I will print these and keep a copy in my Bible and in my prayer journal. A copy may even go on my mirror. :)

I love how short and simple these prays are....yet so powerful.

One of the most loving things we can do is to pray daily for our spouse.

1. Pray Jesus will bless your spouse today in some unexpected way.

2. Pray Jesus will allow you to be a source of joy to your spouse today.

3. Pray Jesus will soften (or keep soft) his heart towards you and others.

4. Pray Jesus will heal the hurts from his past, let him forgive, and give him peace.

5. Pray Jesus will keep your spouse from all harm this day.

6. Pray Jesus will allow him to use all the gifts and talents He gave him.

7. Pray Jesus will rule on the throne of his heart this entire day.

8. Pray that Jesus will fulfill every intention He has for his life, for the Glory of God.

I Samuel 12:23 “As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you.”

His prayer for me: Part 3...

13 "Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy. 14I have given Joyce your word. And the world hates Joyce because Joyce does not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 15I'm not asking you to take Joyce out of the world, but to keep Joyce safe from the evil one. 16Joyce does not belong to this world any more than I do. 17Make Joyce holy by your truth; teach Joyce your word, which is truth. 18Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending Joyce into the world. 19And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for Joyce so Joyce can be made holy by your truth.
John 17: 13-19
