Praying for my Husband!

Posted in blessings

I am joining Amy's SHMILY group to pray for our husbands for the month of June.  We are using Stormie Omartians book called "The Power of a Praying Wife"  I am enjoying it so much!  I feel so convicted in this area of my life.  I often wonder if I had been praying for my husband for specific things and in a deep committed way since the beginning of our marriage 15 yrs ago this coming August where would he be now?  Don't get me wrong, my husband is a wonderful man who LOVES the Lord but if I could go back I would do some many things different as a wife and prayer for him regularly would be my main priority.  There are so many things I would do different, I have NOT always been the best wife, actually many times I have been down right rotten. 

Everyday we are to pray about something different for our husbands.  His job, his finances, his faith and much more.  I will blog about some of the challenges as I go.  Amy has also put on her blog activities we can do and the 1st one is a list of all the things we love about our husbands so I thought I would share mine here!

He is so patient!

He is very kind hearted!

He is the greatest dad I have ever known!

He works hard so we can be a homeschooling family!

He loves to video all of our family memories, he gets so touched when he watches his family memories!

He LOVED his mom so much!  She died last year and it has been very difficult for both of us!

He LOVES Jesus!

He always makes me feel beautiful, even though I have gained too much weight he has never made me feel ugly or not sexy!  He stills loves me the way I am

I find him very handsome!  He hates that he has put on weight, I still find him very handsome!

He loves animals!

He is a great COOK and does most of the cooking (I know I'm so spoiled)

He pumps my gas (I know, I know-how very spoiled I am)

He always lets me know how much he misses me when I'm gone and always says I love you on the phone.

He prays for me!

He is ALWAYS supportive of my endeavors no matter what they are!

He takes care of me when I'm sick!

Wow, I could truly go on and on.  Actually when I read about others who have struggled with loving difficult husbands, I often feel guilty because it has truly been ME that has been the difficult one over the years but God is really working on my heart and I am really working hard to change that.  I want my husband to know how very much I love him and I don't ever want to take him for granted.  Thank you Jesus for bringing this man in my life!

This is an absolutely wonderful book! So often as we pray for our husbands our prayers tend to be quite basic. Stormie shares specific prayers for various areas of a husband's life which serve as a helpful prayer guideline. Boldly pray through the book and watch what God does!

Blessings,
