Day 38 of 40 Days of Prayer: "Prayer For Doing What is Right, Not What's Easy"

"Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another."
Galatians 5:25-26 (NLT)

Let's Pray:

Lord, since (_____) is living by your Spirit, I pray he will follow your Spirit's leading in every part of his life. Let him not become conceited, or provoke anyone, or be jealous of anyone. Give him the courage to stand up and do what is right and not cave in to what everyone else is doing. Lord, help him to know in his heart that when he's following you he IS doing what is right and bless him with peace in his heart.

Lord, I pray that your Spirit will pour your wisdom into him today and guide his every step. I pray you will use your Holy Spirit to unite us as husband and wife, as we teach and lead our children. You tell us that you have given us your spirit and I thank you for that! I pray for your spirit to guide us together today. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Wives,

There is only a couple of days left of this 40 Days of Prayer, but I encourage you to keep praying. I hope that these past 38 days or so have helped you develop a habit of praying daily for your husband and your marriage. Once again, as I have said at the beginning; my marriage has yet again gone through more transformation. As recently as this morning, our marriage has grown stronger and we've been stretched as a couple more than ever before in our relationship. Though the struggles have rendered tears of sadness at times, I can honestly tell you that the tears that started as tears of sadness, ended as tears of joy!!!!

It says in Genesis 50:20 that God is able to take what was meant for evil and use it for good. No matter what situation you may be facing in your marriage today; I promise you that if you ask, God can take it and bring good out of it. He has done it again and again in mine--Thank you, LORD!
