"Teach me, O LORD, to follow every one of your principles. Give me understanding and I will obey your law; I will put it into practice with all my heart. Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found."
Psalms 119: 33-35 (NLT)
Let's Pray:
O Lord, teach (_____) to follow every one of your principles. I ask you to give him understanding so he will obey your law. I pray he will put it into practice with all his heart. I pray you will make him walk along the path of your commands, for that is where his happiness is found. I pray you will keep me from distracting him from following your will. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Wives,
It is important to point out that the scripture is clear WHO is doing the teaching and it is NOT us. It is God doing the teaching. I have found that when I try to take over God's job, I mess it up big time! My husband resents me when I play the "Holier than thou" card. I am much more useful to God when I remain focused on my own growth. I heard a counselor say once "Sometimes the wife just needs to get out of the way so God has a direct shot!"
We are much more effective on our knees in prayer for our husbands than on our soap box preaching to him.
