Love Dare Day 16

Love Intercedes

"Tell your husband something once and then give it to the Lord." This was advice given to me prior to getting married. I have been so grateful for these words over the years. Often I take issues to the Lord prior to even speaking about them to my husband. We are to be a helpmate to our husbands and praying for them is a big part of that, though I confess I am not as consistent in this area as I should be.

Lord please remind me to include my husband in my continual prayers. I pray for him now that he would not worry about things and completely trust You in all areas of our life. Help him to remember that You provide for us through him and help him not to carry the weight of provision on his shoulders. As I know he is seeking to improve his prayer life with you Lord, I pray for him in this area also. Please give him the tools he needs to remember how to pray and how to pray continually. Please help us both to make the time to sit down with you daily and be in your Word. Thank you for all that you do for us Father. Let us always be joyful and aware of all the blessings you give. Let us never be in the "keeping up with the Jones" mindset, but teach us to be truly content with what we have. Help us to teach these principle and values to our children. Guide my husband in his leadership of our family both as a husband and as a father. Help us to chose patience and pour an abundance of wisdom on our lives.

this morning I'm blessed by my husband. And todays dare has made me stop to pray in more detail for him. I pray for him daily, but it's turning into something similar everyday. I have forgotten the power in praying his needs and for his growth. That God will hear them and help him as well as bless him. I desire deeply to take more detail to the Lord Jesus and i am excited for what He will do.

It was nice to be reminded not to get in a rut when praying for our husbands. I'm excited to see how the Lord will work too!
