DAY 19 - PRAY FOR HIS PAST.

The past should not be a place where we live, but something from which we learn. We are to forget "those things which are behind" and reach "forward to those things which are ahead," and we're to "press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13,14). God is a redeemer and a restorer. We need to allow Him to be both. He can redeem the past and restore what was lost. He can make up for the bad things that have happened (Psalm 90:15). We must trust Him to do those things. We can never move out of the present into the future of what God has for us if we cling to and live in the past.

Your husband's past not only affects him, it affects your offspring as well. More is passed down to your children and grandchildren than just the colour of your hair and eyes. We can leave  a legacy as painful and damaging as the one we experienced ourselves. We can bequeath a heritage of divorce, anger, anxiety,depression and fear, to name a few. Whatever you and your husband can free yourselves from the past, you not only lose some of what God has for your future, but for your children's future as well.

God says we are to cry for deliverance, walk in His ways, proclaim His truth, and then we will find freedom from our past. But sometimes there are levels of freedom to go through. Your husband may think he's gotten free of something and it will rear its head again, leaving him feeling like he's right back where he started. Tell him not to be discouraged by that. If he has been walking with the the Lord, he is probably moving into a deeper level of liberty that God wants to work in his life. Your prayers will surely gird him for the journey to greater freedom.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would enable (husband's name) to let go of his past completely. Deliver him from any hold it has on him. Help him to put off his former conduct and habitual ways of thinking about it and be renewed in his mind (Ephesians 4:22,23). Enlarge his understanding to know that You make all things new (Revelation 21:5). Show him a fresh, Holy Spirit inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. Give him the mind of Christ so that so that he can clearly discern Your voice from the voices of the past. When he hears those old voices, enable him to rise up and shut them down with the truth of Your Word. Where he has formerly experienced rejection or pain, I pray he will not allow them to colour what he sees and hears now. Pour forgiveness into his heart so that bitterness, resentment, revenge and unforgiveness will have no place there. May he regard the past as only a history lesson and not a guide for his daily life.

Wherever his past has become an unpleasant memory, I pray You would redeem it and bring life out it. Bind up his wounds (Psalm 147:3). Restore his soul (Psalm 23:3). Help him to release the past so that he will not live in it, but learn from it, break out of it, and move into the future You have for him.

DAY 17 - PRAY FOR HIS RELATIONSHIPS.

Isolation is not healthy. We all need the influence of good people to keep us on the right path.  Every married couple should have at least two strong believing couples with whom they can share encouragement, strength and the richness of their lives. Being around such people is edifying, enriching, balancing and fulfilling and it helps us keep perspective when things seem to grow out of proportion. Having the positive qualities of other people rub off on us is the best thing for a marriage.

The Bible says we must "not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers" (II Corinthians 6:14). We must pray against bad influences but it doesn't mean we van never be around anyone who isn't a Christian, but our closet most influential relationships should be with people who know and love the Lord or there will be consequences.

Also pray for your husband to have Godly male friends. And when he finds then, give him time to be doth then without criticism. Those friends will refine him. "As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend" (Proverbs 27:17). They will be a good influence.

Pray about all of your husband's relationships. He needs to have good relationships with his parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, coworkers and neighbours. Pray that none of his relationships be marred by his inability to forgive. A husband who is tortured with unforgiveness is not a pretty sight.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray for (husband's name) to have good, godly make friends with whom he can openly share his heart. May they be trustworthy men of wisdom who will speak truth into his life and not just say what he wants to hear (Proverbs 28:23). Give him the discernment  to separate himself from anyone who will not be a good influence (I Corinthians 5:13). Show him the importance of godly friendships and help me encourage him to sustain them. Give is believing married couples with whom we can feel comfortable sharing our lives.

I  pray for strong, peaceful relationships with each of his family members,  neighbours, acquaintances and coworkers.  Today I specifically pray for his relationship with (name of person). Inspire open communication and mutual acceptance between them. Let there be reconciliation where there has been estrangement. Work peace into anything that needs to be worked out.

I pray that in his heart he will honour his father and mother so that he will live long and be blessed in his life (Exodus 20:12).  Enable him to be a forgiving person and not carry grudges or hold things in his heart against others. Lord, You've said in Your Word that "he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and dies not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes" (I John 2:11).

I pray that my husband would never be blinded by the darkness of unforgiveness but continually walk in the light of forgiveness.  May he not judge or show contempt for anyone but remember the "we shall all stand before the judgement sat of Christ" (Romans 14:10). Enable him to love his enemies, bless those who curse him and do good to those who hate him, and pray for those who spiteful use him and persecute him (Matthew 5:44). I  pray that I will be counted as his best friend and that our friendship with one another will continue to grow. Show him baht it means to be a true friend and snake him to be one.

SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

I John 1:7

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Luke 17:3,4

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.   And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

DAY 18 - PRAY FOR HIS FATHERHOOD

TODAY'S POST IS DEDICATED TO ALL DAD AND ALL THE FATHER FIGURES THAT HELPED RAISE ME.....BOTH DEAD AND ALIVE, I APPRECIATE AND LOVE YOU ALL. TO MY HUSBAND KOFI BOATENG, YOU'RE MORE THAN A BLESSING TO OUR CHILDREN.....IN THEIR EYES, YOU'RE THE GREATEST....WE LOVE YOU DEARLY.

Thoughts of failure and inadequacy are what cause so many fathers to give up, leave, become overbearing from trying too hard, or develop a passive attitude and fade into the background of their children's lives. It can be especially overwhelming to a man who already feels like a failure on other areas.

The best way for a man to be a good father is to get to know his heavenly Father and learn to imitate Him. The more time he spends in the Lord's presence, being transformed into His likeness, the better influence he will be when he spends time with his children. He will have a fathers heart because he understands the Father's heart.

Pray that your husband grows into a greater understanding of his heavenly Fathers love and be healed of any misconceptions he has in his heart and mind about it. Where his father failed him and he has blamed God, ask the Lord to heal that enormous hurt. The Bible says, "Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in deep darkness" (Proverbs 20:20). Unless forgiveness happens in his heart for his dad, he will be in the dark as to how to be the best father for his children. His father doesn't have to be alive in order to right that relationship, because it's what is in his own heart regarding his dad that matters. Pray that he will gain a right attitude towards his earthly father so nothing will stand on the way of his relationship with his FATHER GOD.

PRAYER

Lord, teach (husband's name ) to be a good father. Where it was not modeled to him according to Your ways, a hunger I'm his heart to really know You as his heavenly Gather.  Draw him to close to spend time in Your presence so he can become more elite You and fully understand Your Fathers heart of compassion and live toward him.  Grow that same heart in him for his children.  Help him to balance mercy, judgement and instruction the way You do. Though You require obedience,  You are quick to acknowledge a repentant heart. Make him that way too. Show him when to discipline and how. Help him to see that he who loves his child disciplined him promptly (Proverbs 13:24). May he never provoke his "chide to wrath, but bring them up on the training and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). I pray we will be united in the rile we set for our children  and be in full agreement as to how they are raised. I pray that there will be most rife or argument over how to handle them and the issues that surround their lives.

Give him.skills of communication with his children. I pray he will not be stern, hard, cruel, cold, abusive, noncommunicative, passive, critical, weak, uninterested,  neglectful,  undependable or uninvolved. Help him instead to be kind, loving, soft hearted, warm,interested, affirming,  affectionate, involved, strong, consistent, dependable, verbally communicative,  understanding and patient. May he require and inspire his children to honour him as their father so that their lives will be long and blessed.

Lord, I know we pass a spiritual inheritance to our children. Let the heritage he passes on be one rich on the fullness of Your Holy Spirit. Enable him to move clearly a walk of submission to Your laws. May he delight in his children and long to grow them up Your way. Bring a good father is something he wants very much. I pray that You would give him the desire of his heart.

Amen.

Wise Quotes - POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE 16

DAY 16 - PRAY FOR HIS PRIORITIES

Men have many different ideas about what their priorities should be. But every wife feels she should be at the top of her husband's list, right there under God. If a wife wants her husband's priorities to be in that order, she has to make sure hers are in that order as well. In other words, if you want your husband to place you as a priority over work, children, friends and activities, you need to do the same for him. If God and spouse aren't clearly top priorities in your life, your husband will have less incentive to make them so in his.

For women, there is usually the struggle to keep a right order of priorities, especially if there are little ones in the picture. Children's needs are immediate and urgent and you're the one to take care of them. A husband, after all, is an adult and hopefully can take care of himself. Even if there are no children, it's possible to be consumed by work, home, friends, projects, interests and activities. It's hard, int he midst of everything that occupies your time and attention, not to allow your husband to fall down on the list or at least feel as though he has.

Fortunately, priorities don't always have to do with the total amount of time spent on them, otherwise anyone with a forty-hour work week would be putting God second to their job unless he or she was praying at least eight hours a day. And there is no way a wife can give as much time to her husband as she does to a young child without neglecting the child. When it comes to your husband, it's not so much a matter of how much time you take, but that you do take time to make him feel he is a priority.

If you want your husband to love you more, you need to love him more. It always works, especially if you're praying about it as well. If you feel that you just don't have the time and energy to put your husband first and still do all that's expected of you, ask God for a fresh filling of His Holy Spirit. Seek Him first and He will help you get your priorities in order. Pray for your husband to always put God first, you second and children third. then no matter what else is going on in his life, his priorities will be in order and there will be greater peace and happiness ahead for both of you.

PRAYER

God, I proclaim You Lord over my life. Help me to seek You first every day and set my priorities in perfect order. Reveal to me how to properly put my husband before children, work, family, friends, activities and interests. Show me what I can do right now to demonstrate to hi that he has this position in my heart. Mend the times I have caused him to doubt that. Tell me to prioritize everything so that whatever steals life away, or has no lasting purpose, will not occupy my time.

I pray for my husband's priorities to be in perfect order as well. Be Lord and Ruler over his heart. Help him to choose a simplicity of life that will allow him to have time alone with You, Lord, a place to be quiet in Your presence every day. Speak to him about making Your Word, prayer, and praise a priority. Enable him to place me and our children in greater prominence in his heart than career, friends and activities. I pray he will see You first and submit his all to You, for when he does I know the other pieces of his life will fir together perfectly.

Amen

Wise Quotes - POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE 15

DAY 15 - PRAY FOR HIS REPUTATION.

A good reputation is a fragile thing, especially in this day of rapid communication and mass media. Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time can ruin a person's life. A reputation is not something to be taken lightly. A good name is to be chosen over great riches (Proverbs 22:1) and is better than the "precious ointment" (Ecclesiastes 7:1). It's something to value and protect.

A person who doesn't value his reputation may someday desire credibility and not find it. Our reputations can be ruined by wrong things we do, by the people with whom we are associated, or by disparaging words spoken about us. In all three cases, evil is involved. One unfortunate course case, a significant round of gossip, an evil influence, an unflattering newspaper article, or fifteen minutes of notoriety can destroy everything a man has worked for all his life. Prayer is our only defense.

A vitreous wife, the Bible says, has a husband who is respected.  He is "known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land" (Proverbs 31:23). Does that just happen?  Is every vitreous wife guaranteed a husband with a good reputation? Or does she have something to do with that? It's true that a man gets a certain amount of respect for having a good wife, but I believe one of the good things she does is pray for him and his reputation.

Prayer for your husband's reputation should be an ongoing process. However, keep in mind that he has a free will.  If he is not sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, he may still choose to go his own way and get into trouble. If something like that happens or has already happened to tarnish his reputation, pray for God to redeem the situation and bring good out of it. He can do that too.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that (husband's name( will have a reputation that is untarnished. I know that a man is often valued "by what others says of him" *Proverbs 27:21), so I pray that he will be respected in our town and people will speak highly of him. You've said in Your Word that "a curse without cause shall not align" (Proverbs 26:2). I pray that there would never be any reason for bad things to be said of hum.  Keep hum out if legal entanglements. Protect us from lawsuits and criminal proceedings. Deliver him from his enemies,  O God.  Defend him from those who rise up to do him harm (Psalm 58:1).  Fight against those who fight against him (Psalm 35:1). If You are fur us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)?

Your Word says that  "a good tree cannot beat bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into he fire" (Matthew 7:18,19). I pray that my husband will bear good fruit out if the goodness that is within him, and that he will be known by the good that he does. May the fruits of honesty, trustworthiness and humility sweeten all his dealings so that his reputation will never be spoiled.

Preserve his life from the enemy, hide him from the secret counsel of the wicked. Pull him out of any net which has been laid for him (Psalm 31:4). Keep him sage from evil gossiping mouths. Where the has been ill spoken of him,  touch the lips of those who speak it with Your refining fire. Let the responsibility of those involved be revealed. Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion who seek to destroy his life; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonour who wish him evil (Psalm 40:14). May he trust in You and not be a raid of what an can do to him (Psalm 56:11). For You have said whoever believe in You will not be put to shame (Romans 10:11). Lead him,  guide him and be his mighty fortress and hiding place. May His light so shine before men that they see his good works and glorify You, Lord ( Matthew 5:16).

Amen.

SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION

Psalm 64:2,3

Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Matthew 5:11,12

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Proverbs 25:8-10

Do not go hastily to court; For what will you do in the end,When your neighbor has put you to shame? Debate your case with your neighbor, And do not disclose the secret to another; Lest he who hears it expose your shame, And your reputation be ruined.

Wise Quotes - POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE 14

DAY 14 - PRAY FOR HIS INTEGRITY

Integrity is not what you appear to be when all eyes are on you. It's who you are when no one is looking. It's a level of morality below which you never fall, no matter what's happening around you. It's a high standard of honesty, truthfulness, decency and honour that is never breached. It's doing for others the way you would want them to do for you.

The Bible says, "The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him" (Proverbs 20:7). A man of integrity says something and means it. He doesn't play verbal games so you never really know where he stands. He knows to let his "Yes" be "Yes" and his "No" be "No". For whatever is more than these is from the evil one" (Matthew 5:37). He will not play both sides of the fence to please everyone. His goal is to please God and do what is right. A man can be highly esteemed among men but an abomination to God  (Luke 16:16).

Integrity happens in the heart. Therefore, being a man of integrity is something your husband must choose to do on his own. But you can prayerfully help him fight the enemy that seeks to snare him, blind him, and keep him from making that decision. Even when he makes the right choice, there will be a negative reaction to it in the realm of evil. Your prayers can help shield him from anything that causes him to doubt and waver and give him strength to do what's right even when no one's looking.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would make my husband a man of integrity, according to Your standards. Give him strength to say "Yes" when he should say "Yes" and the courage to say "No" when he should say "No". Enable him to stand for what he knows is right and not waver under pressure from the world. Don't let him be a man who is "always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth" (II Timothy 3:7). Give him, instead a teachable spirit that is willing to isten to the voice of wisdom and grow in Your ways.

Make him a man who lives by truth. Help him to walk with Your Spirit of truth at all times (John 16:13). Be with him to bear witness to the truth so that in times of pressure he will act on it with confidence (I John 1:8,9). Where he has erred in this and other matters, give him a heart that is quick to confess his mistakes. For You have said in Your Word, "if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:8,9). Don't let him be deceived. Don't let him live a lie in any way. Bind mercy and truth around his neck and write them on the tablet of his heart so he will find favour and high esteem in the sight of God and man (Proverbs 3:3,4).

Amen.

SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION

Proverbs 28:6

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity. Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Proverbs 11:3

The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.

Psalm 7:8

The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.

Psalm 26:1

Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.

Psalm 25:21

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.

Wise Quotes - POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE 13

DAY 13 - PRAY FOR HIS TRIALS

Everyone goes through hard times. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes our prayers help us to avoid them. Sometimes not. It's the attitude we have when we go through them that matters most. If we are filed with anger and bitterness or insist on complaining and blaming God, things tend to turn our badly. If we go through them with thankfulness and praised to God, He promises to bring good things despite them. He says  to "count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patiece" (James 1:2,3).

A wife's prayers for her husband during these times may not change some of the things he must go through.  After all, if we never suffered anything,  what kind of shallow, compassionless,  impatient people would we be? But prayer can help him maintain a positive outlook of gratitude,  hope, patience and peace in the midst of it, and keep him from reaping the penalty of a wrong response. 

Whether it feels like it or not, when we serve God, His love attends every moment of our lives, even th toughest, loneliest, most otianful and desperate. He is always there  in our midst, working things out for our good when we pray and look to Him to do so. "We know all things work together for good to those who love God,  to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). His purpose for our trials is often to bring us humbly before Him to experience a breaking in our independent self-sufficiency and grow us up into compassionate,  patient, spiritually strong, God-glorifyung people. He uses these situations to teach us how to trust that He loves and cares for us enough to get us through the tough times.

Pray that your husband will be able to press in closer to God until he knows that nothing can separate hin from His love, not what he is going through now and not what will happen in three future. " For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38‭-‬39). I'd nothing can separate hin from the Love of God,  then no matter how bad it gets, he always has hope. 

Trials can be a purifying fire and a cleansing water. You don't want your husband to get burned or drowned; you want him to get refined and renewed. God has promised that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who lived us" (Romans 8:37). "He who endures to the end shall be saved" (Matthew 24:13). It's the determination of your husband to stand strong in faith and wait for God to answer his prayers that will save him from the heat and keep him afloat. 

PRAYER

Lord, You alone know the depth of the burden my husband carries. I may understand specifics, but You have measured the weight of it on his shoulders. I've not come to minimize what You are doing in his life, for I know You work great things in the midst of trials. Nor am I trying to protect him from what he must face. I only want to support him so that he will get through this battle as the winner.

God, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). You have invited us to "come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). I come before Your throne and ask for grace for my husband. Strengthen his heart for this battle and give him patience to wait on You (Psalm 27:1-4). Build him up so that no matter what happens he will be able to stand strong through it. Help him to be always "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer" (Romans 12:12).

Give him endurance to run the race and not give up, for You have said that "a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again" (Proverbs 24:16). Help him to remember that "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand" (Psalm 37:23,24).

I pray he will look to You to be his "refuge until these calamities have passed by" (Psalm 57:1). may he learn to wait on You because "those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31). I pray that he will find his strength in You and as he cries out to You, You will hear him and save him out of all his troubles (Psalm 34:6).

Amen.

SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION

I Peter 1:6,7

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 

Psalm 55:22

Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:16-18

As for me, I will call upon God, And the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon. I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me.

Psalm 71:20,21

You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.
