When your husband is struggling with HIS attitude, how do you react?  Do you take everything personally and become offended or even get angry and grumpy as well?  Here's yet another moment when we need to "shut up and pray" for our husbands.  We cannot let his attitude rear feelings of anger or resentment in our own hearts, or we're in for a big mess.  Words spoken in anger are NEVER profitable. 

We must choose to pray for our husbands when their attitude is bad and infecting the whole house, cuz let's face it, when daddy is unhappy... EVERYone is unhappy!

It's NEVER fun to be around someone who is constantly complaining or whining about something.  Whether it's your husband or you, pray for God to bring joy to your hearts so you can begin to see all the blessings in each and every moment of every single day!

Dear Heavenly Father, Please fill my husband with the peace that only You can give.  Please give him the strength to be God-controlled instead of flesh-controlled (p.150).  I pray that he would be a good example of the joy that comes from you as he goes about his daily living in our home, at work, and in the world.  I pray that he would be patient Lord.  May he be slow to speak and never say words in anger.  Close his mouth Lord, so he never says something he will regret.  Do the same for me Lord when I am tempted to react to his bad attitude.  I don't want him to be a grumpy old man, but one who is a complete reflection of his love and trust in You.  May he come to the point of sayin,g "I have learned in whatever statre I am, to be content" (Philippians 4:11) (p.151).  In Jesus' name, Amen.
