Are you praying for your husband? 

Are you getting on your knees and truly beseeching the Lord on his behalf?  

Prayer is powerful!  

To think that we have the privilege to talk to the Creator of the universe, that He listens to our hearts desires and our cries to Him.  And that He answers us when we call.  Wow!  I am in awe of my Redeemer, my Savior. 

Let’s rise up and seek the Lord on our husband’s behalf.  Pray for him that He would love the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind and strength.  And that he would be a man like Joshua, that He would be strong and of good courage!

May I suggest to take time to pray scripture over your husband; write or type out verses and keep them with you and as you remember to pray for him take a moment to pray the Word over him too.

Joshua 1:5-9

"No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.  I will not leave you nor forsake you.

"Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

"Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

"This Book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all the is written in it.  For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 

"Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Joshua needed reassurance, again and again, to be strong and of good courage.  As our men go out into the world daily, they are faced with many temptations and pressures from this world.  Seek the Lord diligently, fervently, and do not cease in your prayers for your husband.  Pray that he would be a man who is strong and of good courage.  A man willing to love and serve the Lord with his life.  Pray!  

*A side note: young woman who are not yet married, this applies to you as well, pray just as fervently for your future husband!  Seek the Lord on his behalf even now, what a blessing this will be!
