Hello dear friends, Have you ever thought in your marriage, ooh when am
i going to get it all 100%. Well, marriage is a life time school, you keep
learning everyday despite any issue you face, in fact those issues are like
examples in the learning phase and never for one to hold up for depressions,
separation or divorce. You see it is never God's will for divorce or
separation, it angers HIM. If you are married and you and your husband fight
all the time, or are emotionally disconnected, or live in marital deadness, it
is not normal....What you need to do as the wife is to brace up, be strong take
it up to God passionately and win the battle and your husband. The wife's
prayer for her husband is greater than any other person's prayer because you
are one with your husband. For The next few days i will drop prayer
point/motivational write up you can meditate and pray with from the
book i read "The Power of a Praying Wife by Stomie Omartian"
PRAYING FOR YOUR HUSBAND
DAY 1
HIS WIFE
As a wife going into prayer for your Husband or family, your heart needs
to be clean and void of any sin to get better results, so take time and
evaluate very well. That’s why to win this battle and to lose your husband from
the evil ones it starts with you. Take out every unforgiveness,
hatred, any form of sin from your heart, not doing this can sabotage your
prayers or make it slower in seeing results
PRAYER
Lord, help me to be a good wife. I fully realize that I don’t have what
it takes to be one without Your help. Take my selfishness, impatience, and
irritability and turn them into kindness, long-suffering, and the willingness
to bear all things. Take my old emotional habits, mindsets, automatic
reactions, rude assumptions, and self-protective stance, and make me patient,
kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Take the hardness of my
heart and break down the walls with Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a
new heart and work in me Your love, peace, and joy(Galatians 5:22,23). I am not
able to rise above who I am at this moment. Only you can transform me.
Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my
husband. I confess the times I’ve been unloving, critical, angry, resentful,
disrespectful, or unforgiving toward him. Help me to put aside any hurt, anger,
or disappointment I feel and forgive him the way You do—totally and completely,
no looking back. Make me a tool of reconciliation, peace, and healing in this
marriage. Enable us to communicate well and rescue us from the threshold of separation
where the realities of divorce begin.
Make me my husband’s helpmate, companion, champion, friend, and support.
Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to.
Teach me how to take care of myself and stay attractive to him. Grow me into a
creative and confident woman who is rich in mind, soul, and spirit. Make me the
kind of woman he can be pound to say is his wife.
I lay all my expectations at Your cross. I release my husband from the
burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to You. Help me to
accept him the way he is and not try to change him. I realize that in some ways
he may never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in ways I
never thought he could. I leave any changing that needs to be done in Your
hands, fully accepting that neither of us is perfect and never will be. Only
You, Lord, are perfect and I look to You to perfect us.
Teach me how to pray for my husband and make my prayers a true language
of love. Where love has died, create a new love between us. Show me what
unconditional love really is and how to communicate it in a way he can clearly
perceive. Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement above
everything (Amos 3:3). May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be
like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus(Romans 15:5). Make us
a team, not pursuing separate competitive, or independent lives, but working
together, overlooking each other’s faults and weaknesses for the greater good
of the marriage. Help us to pursue the things which make for peace and things
by which one may edify another(Romans 14:19). May we be perfectly joined
together in the same mind and in the same judgement(1 Corinthians 1:10).
I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will grow stronger
and more passionate every day. Enable him to be the head of the home as You
made him to be, and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that
place of leadership. Help me to understand his dreams and see things from his
perspective. Reveal to me what he wants and needs and show me potential
problems before they arise. Breath Your life into this marriage.
Make me a new person, Lord. Give me a fresh perspective, a positive
outlook, and a renewed relationship with the man You’ve given me. Help me see
him with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new compassion, and new
acceptance. Give my husband a new wife, and let it be me.

DAY 2
PRAYING FOR
''HIS WORK''
A man finds joy and fulfilment when he can cater
for his family, some men are workaholics and some are lazy, neither of them in
extreme is good, but finding a balance between the two, which God can help a
man find will bring that quality of life and true joy. As the wife pray for
your husband's work so that he would be where God wants him to be and be truly
fulfilled.
PRAYER
Lord, I pray that You would bless the work of my
husband’s hands. May his labour bring not only favour, success, and prosperity,
but great fulfilment as well. If the work he is doing is not in line with Your
perfect will for his life, reveal it to him. Show him what he should do
differently and guide him down the right path. Give him strength, faith, and a
vision for the future so he can rise above any propensity for laziness. May he
never run from work out of fear, selfishness, or desire to avoid
responsibility. On the other hand, help him to see that he doesn't have to work
himself to death for man’s approval, or grasp for gain beyond what is a gift
from You. Give him the ability to enjoy his success without striving for more.
Help him to excel, but free him from the pressure to do so.
I pray that You will be Lord over his work, and may
he bring You into every aspect of it. Give him enough confidence in the gifts
You’ve placed in him to be able to seek, find, and do good work. Open up doors
of opportunity for him that no man can close. Develop his skills so that they
grow more valuable with each passing year. Show me what I can do to encourage
him.
I pray that his work will be established, secure,
successful, satisfying, and financially rewarding. May he not be lagging in
diligence but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord(Romans 12:11). Let him be
like a tree planted by the stream of Your living water, which brings forth
fruit in due season. May he never wither under pressure, but grow strong and
prosper (Psalm 1:3).

DAY 3
PRAYING FOR HIS FINANCES
A
man deserves to earn what he has worked for and you as the wife has a role to
play by praying he does.
PRAYER
Lord,
I commit our finances to You. Be in charge of them and use them for Your
purposes. May we both be good stewards of all that You give us, and walk in
total agreement as to how it is to be dispersed. I pray that we will learn to
live free of burdensome debt. Where we have not been wise, bring restoration
and give us guidance. Show me how I can help increase our finances and not
decrease them unwisely. Help us to remember that all we have belongs to You,
and to be grateful for it.
I
pray that my husband(personify this) will find it easy to give to You and to
others as You have instructed in Your Word. Give him wisdom to handle money
wisely. Help him make good decisions as to how he spends. Show him how to plan
for the future. I pray that he will find the perfect balance between spending
needlessly and being miserly. May he always be paid well for the work he does,
and may his money not be stolen, lost, devoured, destroyed, or waster. Multiply
it so that what he makes will go a long way. I pray that he will not be anxious
about finances, but will seek Your kingdom first, knowing that as eh does, we
will have all we need(Luke 12:31).
