Day 8 of 40 Days of Prayer: "Prayer for Guidance for Our Husbands"


"Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil."


Psalms 119:133 (NLT)


Let's Pray:

Lord, I pray that you will guide (____) steps by your word, so that he will not be overcome by evil. Thank you Lord, for your protection. In Jesus' name, AMEN.


Wives,

Remember as you pray for your husband each day, Satan will step up his game. So do not be surprised if things get a little rough at times. Jesus warned us that this life is not going to be easy but I can assure you that the fight is worth it. Not only is your husband benefiting from your prayers but your whole family is going to benefit. AND, if you have enlisted any other wives to pray along with you, they will benefit, too. How? you ask. When you pray to God, and tell others about it, when God answers, not only does your faith grow, theirs does, too!!!


True to form, as I shared in the last post about my personal struggles with my husband and the situation with our daughters racing in motocross; God answered my prayers in a big way! The girls placed in the top 10 of their class out of 30 riders. This was way better than either of us expected and it encouraged us that all the time and money we are investing in this sport is worth it! But as only God can do, he always surpasses what our expectations are and because I sat the girls down and had them pray with me through the struggle, their faith grew because they saw God work a miracle. Had I prayed alone and didn't include them, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to see God at work in their lives answering their prayers.


I encourage you to also enlist a close friend to pray with you for your husbands. We are better - together!
