Husbands...Pray for your Wives - 31 DAYS

 

Day 1

"That she might become a holy woman, a woman of prayer, mature in the Lord,

growing in her knowledge of the Lord."

Relating scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-23, Colossians 4:12, Ephesians 1:18-19, 3:16-19, 6:18

1 Thessalonians 5:16-23: Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the spirit.  Despise not prophesyings.  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  Abstain from all appearance of evil.  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless into the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray for your wife, that she will be joyful, give thanks in all circumstances, and pray continuously.  This is God's will in your life.  Pray that her spirit stays thirsty for the word of God, and that she will not turn against the prophesies.  Pray that your wife will test the truth in everything, and hold onto only that which is found good, and that she may not surround herself with any element of evil.  Pray that God's peace will sanctify her through and through, and that her spirit and soul and body will be found blameless in the presence of Jesus.

 

Colossians 4:12: Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ, sends greetings, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.

Pray that your wife knows that Christ's servants are always lifting her up in prayer so that the will of God will be manifested through her life and she may stand mature and assured of her salvation.

 

Ephesians 1:18-19, 3:16-19, 6:18: I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength.  |  I pray that out of His glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  |  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Pray for your wife to be enlightened in her heart of the things for which God has planned in her life, and that she may have faith that the Lord will bless believers as a work of His mighty power.  Pray that your wife be strong in the Spirit so that Christ may live in her heart and that she will have an understanding of Christ's love for her enough to know that she will be filled with the Holy Ghost.  Pray that she will seek her Heavenly Father through prayer so that she will always be alert, and that she will also pray for all other women as well.

 

Day 2

That she might grow in all 11 descriptions of a woman who will not be shaken

as listed in Psalms 15.

Psalms 15: Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your Holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.  He who does these things will never be shaken.

Pray for your wife that she be blameless and practice those things that are righteous. Pray that she will be truthful and offer commendation and flattery instead of slander and backbiting. Pray that she loves others as she loves herself, and that she will not insult her fellow man. Pray that she does not yolk herself with non-believers, and that she detests vile, sinful, vulgar men and women but that she will value those that are God-fearing. Pray that your wife will keep her promises even through difficulty. Pray for her that she will not place importance on material possessions, and that she will help others to the best of her ability.

 

Day 3

That she might be a woman of contentment

as seen in Proverbs 15:16, Phil 4:11, 1 Timothy 6:6-8, Hebrews 13:5.

Proverbs 15:16: Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

Pray that your wife values more her relationship and faith in the Lord than any worldly possession, for it is always better to have strong faith and little material gain than to have great worldly riches and no fear of the Lord.

 

Philippians 4:11-13: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Pray that your wife learns to be satisfied and happy no matter what her situation may be, knowing that the Lord will always provide for her needs and from God's grace, pray that she will know that anything is possible.

 

1 Timothy 6:6-8: But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

Pray for your wife's contentment... that she will not place great emphasis on that which she does not possess, but rather that she gives thanks to the Lord for providing her needs.

 

Hebrews 13:5: Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Pray that your wife will have the understanding that God will never leave or
