DAY 3 - 30 DAY PRAYING FOR YOUR HUSBAND CHALLENGE

PRAY FOR HIS CLEANSING

This is not saying that you should close your eyes to sinful behavior but... 

• How do you respond when your husband has made a mistake or even sin? 
• How do you handle circumstances that causes you to doubt your husband's love for you?
• Can you respond with prayer?

Psalm 51: 2-4
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Today, we encourage you to pray for his cleansing- Ask God to wash him thoroughly from his iniquity and sin; ask God to help him to acknowledge and confess it to Him. Pray that God will allow him  to see that he has not only affected you and the family, but he has sinned against Him.  In that light you too can forgive him and release him.

TODAY'S FOCUS:  PRAY FOR HUMILITY

Micah 6:8 (KJV) -He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Many men today are challenged with arrogance and pride.  Society and the world in general has taught them to be a man that they must be tough and arrogantly macho Many take it to the extreme which causes them to lack the disciplines to overcome temptations.   

Don't leave your husband to chance or allow him to wallow in his mire or habits.  If he needs a good washing - pray for his cleansing.  Pray for his mind, prideful heart and humble spirit in a loving and non-condemning manner.  Release any record of past wrongs and any negative feelings you may harbor about him.  

Activity:  

Slip an I LOVE YOU note in his pocket, wallet, lunch bag, next to his breakfast, stick it on a fruit/snack or stick it in a visible place in his car.  If he has already left for the day, leave it on his pillow or on his side of the bed as a special evening greeting. 

The scripture above is a key component for your husband to be able to acknowledge his wrongs.  Praying for humility for him will enable him to seek God, hear His voice and to walk uprightly before Him.  It will also allow him to admit his wrongs and his sins.  That definitely requires a humble spirit.

Remember, God hears you when you pray,and requires that you too come to him with a humble spirit.  Pray these scriptures positively.  Encourage your husband to talk to God about his weaknesses.  Let him know that you are available for him to discuss and pray with him about anything that is a challenge to him.  Praise God through the process and trust Him to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that you ask of Him.  

All for a better relationship and exciting life!

God Bless and Keep the Faith!
