The Good Wife-Prayer Battle Day 7-9

DAY 7

PRAYING FOR HIS MIND-This is where both the good and the bad thoughts are generated which in turn is put in action. Good or Bad thoughts can control ones life, no one wants a life filled with bad actions, so take control of your minds first and pray that every thought your husband has is good and captive under God’s control.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray for Your protection on my husband’s mind. Shield him from the lies of the enemy. Help him to clearly discern between Your voice and any other, and show him how to take every thought captive as You have instructed us to do. May he thirst for Your Word and hunger for Your truth so that he can recognize wrong thinking. Give him strength to resist lying thoughts. Remind him that he has the mind of Christ. Where the enemy’s lies have already invaded his thoughts, I push them back by inviting the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse his mind. Lord, You have given me authority “over all the power of the enemy”(Luke 10:19). By that authority given to me in Jesus Christ, I command all lying spirits away from husband’s mind. I proclaim that God has given him(your husband’s name) a sound mind. He will not entertain confusion, but live in clarity. He will not be tormented with impure, evil, negative, or sinful thoughts, but be transformed by the renewing of his mind, that he may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God(Romans 12:2).

Enable him to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”(Ephesians 6:10). Help him to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let his requests be made known to You; and may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind through Christ Jesus(Philippians 4:6,7). And finally, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, or good report, having virtue, or anything praiseworthy, let him thin on these things(Philippians 4:8).

DAY 8

PRAYING FOR HIS FEARS-There are so many things humans are afraid of and you have to pray your husband is held captive of it.

PRAYER

Lord, you’ve said in Your Word that  there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love(1John 4:18). I pray You will perfect my husband in Your love so that tormenting fear finds no place in him. I know You have not given him a spirit of fear. You’ve given him power, love, and a sound mind(2Timothy 1:7). I pray in the name of Jesus that fear will not rule over my husband. Instead, may Your Word penetrate every fiber of his being, convincing him that Your love for him is far greater than anything he faces and nothing can separate him from it.

 I pray that he will acknowledge You as a Father whose love is unfailing, whose strength is without equal, and in whose presence there is nothing to fear. Deliver him this day from fear that destroys and replace it with Godly fear(Jeremiah 32:40). Teach him Your way, O Lord. Help him to walk in Your truth. Unite his heart to fear Your name(Psalm 86:11). May he have no fear of men, but rise up and boldly say, The Lord is my healer; I will not fear. What can man do to me?(Hebrews 13:6) How great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You(Psalm 31:19).

I say to you (husband’s name), Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you(Isaiah 35:4). In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear(Isaiah 54:14). You shall not be afraid of the error by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday(psalm 91:5,6). May the Spirit of the Lord rest upon you, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord(Isaiah 11:2).

DAY 9

PRAYING FOR HIS PURPOSE-Everyone has a purpose, otherwise we wouldn't exist. As a wife you cannot force your husband to become something but you can pray for him to become it.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that (husband’s name) will clearly hear the call You have on his life. Help him to realize who he is in Christ and give him certainty that he was created for a high purpose. May the eyes of his understanding be enlightened so that he will know what is the hope of Your calling(Ephisians 1:18).

Lord, when You call us, You also enable us. Enable him to walk worthy of his calling and become the man of God You made him to be. Continue to remind him of what You’ve called him to and don’t let him get sidetracked with things that are unessential to Your purpose. Strike down discouragement so that it will not defeat him. Lift his eyes above the circumstances of the moment so he can see the purpose for which You created him. Give him patience to wait for Your perfect timing. I pray that the desires of his heart will not be in conflict with the desires of Yours. May he seek You for direction, and hear when you speak to his soul.
