Day 29 of 40 Days of Prayer: "Prayer For His Thought Life"

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life."
Psalms 139:23 (NLT)

Let's Pray:

Dear Lord, I am so thankful that you are gentle as you mold us and teach us the right way to go. Thank you so much for sending your Son to die on the cross our sins so that we can have a second chance! I pray that you will search (_____) and know his heart; test him and know his thoughts. Point out anything in him that offends you, and lead him along the path of everlasting life.

I pray you will do this in my heart, too. If there is any sin in my life that is keeping you from hearing my prayers, please bring it to the surface so that I might be forgiven. I want my prayers for my husband to be effective and I pray you will continue to mold me into the wife my husband has always dreamed of! In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Wives,

Though we are in prayer for our husbands; all these prayers can and does apply to us, too. If our hearts are muddied by sin then our prayers won't be heard. We should always ask God to reveal to us where we need to do some spring cleaning in our thoughts as well. He's not going to surprise us with something, its usually stuff we already know we have an issue with. He's very gentle and softly nudges change within us. Because of Philippians 2:13; I know He is the one placing the desire in my heart to obey Him and the power to do what pleases him. I am relieved to know that I am not relying solely upon my own "flaky" self to do what is right. That is such good news, isn't it??
