This week Tasha shared a prayer project from Raising Godly Children (which was a re-post from an article originally published at Revive Our Hearts) titled 31 Days of Praying for Your Husband by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. What an amazing gift this is - thank you Alia for blessing the women around you and us through them with this project!
Here is an excerpt from 31 Days of Praying for Your Husband by Nancy Leigh DeMoss:
“She does him good . . .” (Proverbs 31:12a)
Bless your husband by praying for him! The Apostle Paul instructed all Christians to pray for one another (Ephesians 6:18). This includes wives’ responsibility and privilege to pray for their husbands. Earnest prayer for your husband is good for him, for you and the spiritual health of your home (Proverbs 31:11-12).
Satan desires to destroy your husband, especially his character and his leadership in your relationship. Trust God through prayer as you daily surrender your husband and marriage to the Lord’s wise, loving care.
Day 1 Pray that your husband will grow spiritually and consider his accountability before the Lord. Pray that he will guard his heart by developing spiritual disciplines—Bible reading and study, prayer, meditation, scripture memorization, etc. (2 Peter 3:18; Prov. 4:23)
For the rest of the article and to download a pdf file you can go to either Raising Godly Children or Revive our Hearts (which has it translated into Spanish in the comments section if you would like to share with someone).
I am so excited to start this journey! I am new to praying scripture specifically over people, but have recently found two other journeys of prayer - specifically for our kids. The MOB (Moms of Boys) Society has done 21 Days of Prayer for Sons based on the book Warrior Prayers: Praying the Word for Boys in the Areas They Need it Most by Brooke McGlothlin and the MOD (Mothers of Daughters) Squad compiled their 31 Days of Prayer for our daughters into an e-book.
Will you commit to pray daily for those you love?
