I don't remember who gave me this list, it has been tucked inside the back cover of my Bible for some time now, but I thought to share it with you. It is a schedule to guide you in praying for your husband. There is a topic & scripture listed for every day of the month. (I have even used this to pray for my children, when it applies.)
Consider that as a wife, you are in a very unique position to cover your husband in prayer. Perhaps there is no one else in his life that is willing or inclined to lift him before the throne of God. As you go to your knees, imagine the blessings that God has stored up, just waiting for your supplications to release (Psalm 31:19).
