Praying for Your Husband.

I originally saw this on Facebook, which led me to a couple different blogs who had this same posting. I signed up to be a part of this time in prayer for my husband and would like to encourage you to do the same. I don't know who came up with this, but I love it! :)  If you don't have a husband, you could pray for your future husband pray for a family member's husband. If you are a husband, may this be your prayer for yourself & your family. Even us wives could pray these scriptures over ourselves.


31 Days of Praying for Your Husband

“She does him good . . .” (Proverbs 31:12a) 

Bless your husband by praying for him! The Apostle Paul 
instructed all Christians to pray for one another
(Ephesians 6:18). This includes wives’ responsibility and
privilege to pray for their husbands. Earnest prayer for
your husband is good for him, for you and the spiritual health 
of your home (Proverbs 31:11-12).

and his leadership in your relationship. Trust God 
through prayer as you daily surrender your husband and 
marriage to theLord’s wise, loving care.

Day 1 Pray that your husband will grow spiritually and
