Day 15 of 40 Days of Prayer: "Prayer for His Priorities"

"The thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you."

Matthew 6:33 (NCV)

Let's Pray:

Lord, Thank you for hearing my prayers every morning. I lift up to you (____)'s priorities. I pray that he will desire doing what you want the most in his life. Thank you for promising that if he does that then you will provide for all his other needs. I pray that you will help me to align my priorities with your will, too. Though we may see things differently, I ask you to give us unity in our desires and decisions. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Wives,

There's no doubt that "issues" have surfaced since we've begun praying consistently for our husbands. I want to encourage you to not give up. Do not allow yourself to stop praying if things get hectic or difficult. In fact the Bible tells us that when times are hard to pray HARDER! When you start working out, there is always pain and discomfort in the beginning. But if you keep at it, the desired results are inevitable.

We need to have that same faith in God when we pray. I do not mean to say that if we pray for a red corvette long enough it will show up in our driveway. I am saying that if we keep praying to God for His will to be done in our marriage, He is faithful. He may not answer our prayer in the way we expect. In fact, in my personal experience He has yet to answer a prayer exactly the way I imagined it to be answered. It's always way better than I imagined it! So keep praying!
