Day 1: "Pray Like A Wife"..............

For His Relationship


with God

Scripture: Acts 16: 30-31; 1 Corinthians 7: 12-14

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come lifting up my husband/ future husband to you. I thank you for the purpose You set for his
life before he was even formed in his mother’s womb. I decree and declare your purpose for his
life shall come forth in Jesus Name. I come against any plans or tactics from the enemy to
destroy his life and cause him to abort his purpose. I cover him in the blood of Jesus and I
declare that no weapon formed against him will ever prosper. Lord, I ask that you reveal yourself
to him so that he will know, with certainty, that you are real. If there is any unbelief in his heart,
please remove it so that he may believe in you.  I decree and declare my husband and my entire
household will be saved and will serve you. Lord, draw close to him, soften his heart and renew
his mind. I praise you in advance for the mighty man of valor you are shaping him into. In Jesus’
Name, Amen!

“Wife Life” Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Choose Joy
It’s true: A happy wife makes a happy life. Please don’t use moodiness as an attempt to
manipulate your man, but in all things rejoice, because that’s the right thing to do. (1
Thessalonians 5:16; Philippians 4:4)

Day 2: "Pray Like a Wife".............. For a Godly Marriage

Scripture: Genesis 2:18-24

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for hearing my prayer. I ask for forgiveness for any acts of sin or disobedience I have
committed against you. I know I have not always done everything that you have asked me to do
but I completely submit myself to you today. I want to live the life you have purposed for me. I
want to be the type of wife you desire for me to be. I want to have a Christ-centered marriage
that is approved by you. Lord, help my husband/future husband and I to fully understand the
purpose of marriage. Lord, remove all misconceptions and erroneously beliefs we may have
regarding the institution of marriage. I ask that you open our spiritual eyes and ears so that we
can gain revelation from you. As you teach us about how a Godly marriage functions, help us to
obey Your Word. Lord, I thank you in advance for shaping me into the wife my husband/future
husband needs. I thank you in advance for shaping my husband/future husband into the man of
God and mate you desire for me. I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen!

“Wife Life” Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Honor His Wishes


Give weight to what your husband thinks is important. Make those things a priority that matter
most to him, whether it’s having dinner ready when he gets home from work or keeping the
house tidy or limiting computer time. Don’t make him ask twice. (Philippians 2:4)

Day 3: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Integrity

Scripture: Titus 2:7

Dear Heavenly Father,

I pray that you make my husband/future husband into a man of integrity according to your
standards. Lord, help him to refrain from walking in the counsel of the wicked and the path of
sinners. Lord, I pray that he will follow you and obey your commands at all times. Give him the
strength to say “No” to seducing temptations and to walk away from ungodly situations. Lord,
mold him into a fearless leader who is not afraid to confront sin and stand for holiness. I decree
and declare; my husband/future husband is a man of honor and has a good reputation in his
family and community. Lord, help him to always keep his promises and be a reliable provider
and protector for his family. Lord, I ask that you help him to be a man that I can trust with my
heart. I come against spirits of lust, greed, deception and manipulation that would try to destroy
his character. I thank you in advance my respectable, God-fearing, man of integrity. In Jesus’
Name Amen.

Single Sister Tips: Advice for the Single Sister

You must be ready to walk steadily beside Christ before you can walk down that aisle.
Before you can have a Christ-centered relationship you must have a Christ-centered life. If your
relationship is focused around anything other than God it will not be blessed. If you find a couple
that has been together for 40 years and has never experienced trying times, I want to talk to
them! Issues are going to arise, that goes back to us being imperfect. Every relationship, whether
it is newlyweds or a marriage of 50 years, will hit rough patches. If when you fall, you both land
at the feet of Christ and allow Him to lead you through it, you will persevere.
Day 4: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Heart

Considering the heart is one of the most important organs in the human body, it is important for
us to make sure that we cover this! We are to pray that our husbands will be humble and quick to
agree with God about his sin and pray that his heart will be tender towards the voice of the Lord.
(Psalms 51:24-4 and Micah 6:8) Praying that his heart is tender towards the Lord will allow us to
have comfort that our household will fall in line with God’s will. If the head of the household
uses Godly discernment, that wisdom will trickle down to the rest of the family members. The
heart not only controls our actions, it controls our emotions as well. It is very critical for us
to pray that our husband/future husband safeguards his heart against inappropriate relationships
with the opposite sex. Pray that his heart will be pure and undivided in his commitment to his
wife. (Proverbs 6:23-24, Proverbs 6:26, and Romans 13:14).

Scriptures: Micah 6:8; Romans 13:14

Dear Lord,

I come to you humbly thanking you for another day. Lord I ask that you accept my prayers for
my husband/future husband, and that I will find favor in your sight. I pray that my
husband/future husband has a pure heart. I thank you that his heart will be filled with love and
compassion. I thank you for mending any areas of his heart that may have been bruised or
broken. I pray that his heart will be free from all guilt, hurt, pain, worry, envy, lust, and malice.
In the name of Jesus, I decree and declare that he will take all instruction from you from this day
forward in all that he does. Lord, I pray that people will not misuse him because of his kind
heart. I bind the enemy who would try to plant thoughts, images, and hypothetical scenarios in
his mind that will affect or upset his heart. As the current/future intercessor over my household, I
take authority and cover him right now in the name of Jesus. I pray that my husband/future
husband will be the man that you say he is, and he will walk in his God given purpose. I thank
You Lord for his restored heart. I give You ALL glory and praise. In Jesus’ name Amen!
Day 5 : "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Faith

In addition to having our personal relationship with God, how often do we realize it is extremely
important that we operate in faith? God makes His BIGGEST moves through our faith in Him!
Walking in faith is a necessity for us as individuals and it is even more important that we cover
the faith of our husbands/future husbands in prayer! As leaders over our household, it is vital for
our husbands/future husbands to be able to look past circumstances and feelings to confidently
guide us to the promises of God (Hebrews 11:1).

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11; Matthew 17:20

Dear Father,

I come before you with humility and an open heart on behalf of my husband/future husband. I
pray that his faith in you will exceed any and all current or future situations. I pray that he will
have an immovable boldness to stand firm on your promises for our household. No matter what
odds are stacked against us, through you, he will never fail. If there is any mistrust within him
that will hinder the plans you have for our household, remove it right now. I come against all
discouragement, distractions, and disdain that the enemy will use to keep my husband/future
husband from operating in confidence of who you are and what You can accomplish through
him. I declare naysayers, temptations, and financial worries will have no authority in our
household and that he will only listen to what you say. I pray that even in difficult seasons, I will
consistently serve as a devoted support to my husband and his faith in you. If there has been any
damage against his confidence in you from the past I pray, with my entire heart, that you will
heal those very areas of need.  Lord, I declare and decree that together we will not grow weary in
well doing but instead, we will be steadfast in your promised plans for our future. In Jesus’
Name Amen!

Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Resist the Urge to Correct

I know one wife whose spouse can’t tell a story without her stopping him fifteen times to correct
inconsequential details: “It wasn’t Monday evening, it was Monday afternoon…. It wasn’t blue,
it was turquoise…. He didn’t ride the bus, he took a shuttle.” Please. Please. Please. Don’t ever
do that to your husband — or to anyone else, for that matter! (Proverbs 17:28
Day 6: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Commitment

Today, we will be praying that our husband/future husband will always remain committed to our
marriage, our family and our wedding vows. In his book, Strengthening Your Marriage, Wayne
Mack writes, “Marriage is a total commitment and a total sharing of the total person with
another person until death.”  Statistics say that over 50% of all marriages will end in divorce,
but through our prayers, we declare and decree that every single woman involved in this prayer
challenge will have a marriage that will last “until death do us part.”

In the book, praying for Your Future Husband: Preparing Your Heart for His, Gunn and Goyer
give a few ways to pray for husbands to keep their commitments:

1.       Pray that he will be faithful in the small things, such as following through on what he
promises to do.

2.       Pray that he will see you as the rightful receiver of all his expressions of intimate physical
affection and place all his kisses in to a “piggy bank”, saving them for you.

3.       Pray that others in his life will join him in praying for his wife----for you.

Scriptures: Proverbs 16:3; Ruth 1:16

Dear Heavenly Father,

I just want to thank you for being so faithful to me. You have remained committed to me
throughout my entire life and I know you always will. You have always kept your promises and
you have always been there for me in my time of need. Lord, you have set a standard for
commitment in my life. I ask that you give me strength, endurance and patience to always remain
committed to you and my marriage/future marriage. Lord, help me to be a devoted wife and give
me the willpower to endure to the end. I thank you for being committed to my husband/future
husband and being a perfect example of a faithful man. I ask that you teach my husband/future
husband what it takes to be committed to me for a lifetime. I pray that he will commit himself to
you and serve you wholeheartedly for his entire life. I pray that he will commit himself to our
marriage and demonstrate his unwavering love for me “until death do us part.” Lord, I decree
and declare that nothing will be able to interfere or interrupt our union. I pray that we will always
remain faithful to our marriage and we will only have eyes for each other. Lord, I come against
any plans of the enemy to cause confusion, mistrust, arguments, adultery, separation or divorce. I
cover my marriage/ future marriage in the blood of Jesus and no weapon formed against it will
ever prosper. I declare and decree that I will not be a static but will have a long-lasting, Godly
marriage which will serve as a positive example for others. I thank you for all these things, In
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
“Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Eyes Only for Him


Don’t compare your husband unfavorably to other men, real or imaginary. It is neither fair nor
respectful and will only breed trouble and discontent. Avoid watching movies or reading books
that might cause you to stumble in this area, as well. (Psalm 19:14; Proverbs 4:23)

Day 7: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His God-Given


Purpose

Many times we pray for our husband's purpose but it's critical that we pray for their God-Given
Purpose. When God created us, He created us with a specific pre-ordained purpose. When we
operate outside of that, we operate outside of the will of God and get off course. When this
happens, time is lost and we have to go back and do what God told us to do originally. Therefore,
as wives/future wives, we must pray that our husbands/future husbands submit themselves to the
Lord's purpose for their life and not their own. We want our husbands to walk in their callings, in
their gifts, and in their talents. It's easy to be led by our own fleshly or worldly desires, but we
must pray that our husbands/future husbands are led by the Spirit and are not quick to do their
own thing. It is also very important that we pray that our husbands/future husbands do not run
from their God-Given purpose and operate in a spirit of disobedience.

Scripture: Proverbs 19:21; Psalm 32:8

Lord,

I come before You lifting up my husband (Say His Name)/ future husband. I thank you for his
God-Given purpose and for the plans you have for him. Lord, your plans are for his good and not
for disaster, to give him future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11) Therefore, he does not have to
worry or question your plans for his life but instead fully submit to them. I thank you for
ordering his steps. I pray that he'll willingly walk in his gifts, callings, and talents, and he will
not run from them. Instead, I pray he will run towards you. I come against every spirit of
disobedience, fear, and doubt and I pray that faith, trust, and a spirit of submission and obedience
will overtake him. Let him be a man after your own will, purpose, plan and heart. Lord,
renew his mind and help him to not lean unto his own understanding. I ask all these entire
things in Your name, Jesus. Amen!
"Wife Life": Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

The "S" Word.....Submit

Ephesians 5:22-24 "For wives, this means submit to your husband's as to the Lord. 23 For a
husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body,
the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husband's in
everything."

Submission is a gift that one person gives to another. The submission of a good wife is a glorious
thing that is intended to help her and her husband to have a contented life together.  Problems in
life and in marriage are more or less inevitable but when a woman is submissive to her man it is
much more likely that those problems can be resolved harmoniously, without unpleasant
quarrelling and without bitterness and resentment.  The people who look down on submission, as
if it were something demeaning, degrading or humiliating are merely showing that they have no
understanding of what submission is and that they are unaware of its power.

Day 8: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For Him To Accept


God's Love

As we celebrate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ today, I am just overwhelmed
with emotion. It is so amazing to know that God loves us so much that He offered His ONLY
son to die for our sins (John 3:16). There is no greater love than that. Many women look to their
significant other to fill their voids and to be their primary source of love. Instead of
remembering, appreciating and receiving the love of Jesus, we often search for love from a
man. It is not fair for us to expect another human to fill the role that Jesus wants to have in our
lives. Marriage is not two HALF people coming together; it is two WHOLE people coming
together. Therefore, make the decision to receive God's sacrificial love and let Him fill your
every void and make you whole. By doing this you will remove unrealistic expectations you
have for your mate and take unnecessary stress off your relationship. God loves you so much

Scriptures: John 3:16; Matthew 22:37


Lord,

I come to you today with love and appreciation. I want to thank you for your sacrificial love.
Thank You for suffering on the cross and giving your life for me. Although I did not deserve it,
you died for my sins and I am forever grateful. Lord, I fully receive your love and I understand
that no man will ever love me as much as you do. Lord, I repent for looking for love from
people/relationships, instead of receiving your love first and foremost. Lord, your love is so
fulfilling. I look to you, not man, to fill every void in my life. Lord, I realize that it is through
you that I am made whole. I ask that you also help my husband/future husband to receive your
unconditional love. Lord, I pray that you will fill every void in his life and make him whole. If
there is any hardness in his heart that would cause him to reject your love, I ask that you extract
it now. Lord, open his heart and mind to fully receive all that you want to give him. I ask that
you remove any unrealistic expectations we may have regarding one another. Help us to look to
you as our primary source of love and to return the favor by loving you with all of our heart,
mind and soul. In Jesus' Name, Amen

Day 9 : "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Patience

As we enter into week 2 of our "Act Like A Lady, Pray Like A Wife" Prayer Challenge, I want
to encourage you to remain consistent in praying for your husband/future husband. God blesses
are faithfulness and I know He is going to bless us as we lift the men up in prayer. There will be
days when you don't feel like praying. There will be days when you are distracted and feel like
you are "too busy". I urge you to press through and pray anyway. If we show God we want it, He
will show us that He's got it!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this day you have made.  Some of us woke up to a special moment with our
spouse, while others may have experienced tension.  We pray that no matter what the condition
is of our marriage we can lean on you in faith for a deeper love.  We pray also for patience.
Sometimes our husbands can do things or not do things that triggers negative emotions.  We pray
that in those times we would be wives of self-control, full of peace, able to have patience and
perseverance.  Help us to remain calm amidst the storms of life in Jesus name AMEN!

Keep praying, your patience is about to pay off!

Fun Ways to Surprise Your Husband


1. Give him a ‘just because’ gift.  Don’t worry, you don’t have to spend much money to come
up with a creative gift he’ll love. 

2. Make a love trail.  If you’ve got little ones at home, you’ll need to get creative here so they
don’t pick up the trail you attempt to leave behind.  Use rose petals, Reese’s Pieces (think E.T.
phone home) or whatever he loves to lead him to a special place where the two of you can be
alone.

3. Exchange an obligation for a date.   Ask him to do a mundane task like picking up milk
from the store.  Then surprise him at the store with tickets to a movie he’s been wanting to see
(or tickets to anything) and whisk him away for a special date night he never saw coming.

4. Turn your husband gratitude list into a keepsake.  Write down all the things you love
about your husband.  Now, take that list and turn it into a beautiful gift for him. 

Day 10: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Priorities

On our list of things we desire in a mate, how many of us want a man who can prioritize? I know
I do and God wants that for us as well! He wants us to have husbands that will ensure the proper
order over our households. Sometimes it’s a struggle balancing things in our singlehood let alone
marriage. So its ever so important that we consistently go to God in prayer each and every day so
our husbands will lead and prioritize our household the way God desires!

Take a look at Dr. Jay Sklar, Ph.D, lists “The Five Priorities of a Godly Husband”

1. Love God (Deuteronomy 6:5

2. Love Your Wife (Ephesians 5:25-29)

3. Manage Your Family (Ephesians 6:4)

4. Provide for Your Family (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12)

5. Be Involved in a Local Church (Hebrews 10:25)

Scripture: Romans 12:11; Mark 8:36-37; Exodus 20: 3

Dear Father,

You are more than enough. I look to You for You have the solutions to all present and future
needs. I come seeking Your influence over my marriage/future marriage. I want my household to
reflect the order You set for a marriage. Therefore, I come to You lifting up my husband/future
husband’s ability to prioritize and lead our house as You command. I declare, as a leader, he will
always put You first in everything he does. If there is something that I notice out of order, Lord I
ask you to mold my heart with Yours so I am able to rely solely on You to make the necessary
changes within him in Your timing, not my own. I declare he will enthusiastically seek Your
input for all things and will remain patient when You instruct him to do so. I come against all
distractions that would tempt him to operate outside of Your perfect order for our lives. I come
against all hindrances in the form of stress, discouragement, voids, or greed that will cause him
to put anything including work, money and friends before You and our family. I speak life into
our marriage/future marriage and the relationship we have/will have with one another. I thank
You in advance for honoring this prayer and molding my husband/future husband into a loving
husband, devoted father, and a reliable/hardworking provider for his family. I believe he will not
only become a better husband/future husband as the result of this prayer, but I thank you for the
greater desire you will place inside him to serve in our local church. I also thank you in advance
that You are molding me into the wife/future wife that will aid him in maintaining Your perfect
structure for our lives. All to Your Glory, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Be Content

Do not pressure your husband to keep up with the Jonses. Take satisfaction in the lifestyle he is
able to provide for you. (1 Timothy 6:6-10; Hebrews 13:5)

Day 11: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Thoughts

Have you ever been hypothetically thinking about a situation, and then you ended up getting
angry, sad, or frustrated? Something that never even happened, after it was all said and done.
Well that my Sisters, was nothing but the sheer tricks of the enemy. He likes to get into our
thought life, cause confusion and then leave us questioning our faith. Because we are mindful of
the schemes of the enemy, we have to be sure that the thought life of the head of the household is
pure. Today we will be praying for our husband/future husband's thoughts. We are to pray that
our husband/future husband will yield his mind and thoughts to the Lord, and that he will not
entertain immoral or impure thoughts. Pray that he will resist the temptation to indulge in sexual
immorality and any unclean thing that is not of God. Don't let the enemy be the intercessor over
your household, stand in the gap for your husband/husband to be!

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:5


Dear Lord,

I come to you humbly thanking you for another day. Lord, I ask that you accept my prayers for
my husband/future husband, and that I will find favor in Your sight. I pray, right now, that my
husband/future husband’s thoughts will be heavily guarded so that the enemy is not able to plant
seeds of destruction. I ask that you remove any thoughts that may keep him bound or that may
cause him to fall into the trap of the enemy. I cast down thoughts of failure, poverty, confusion,
low self-esteem, homosexuality, lust, revenge, death, and dishonesty. I decree and declare that
my husband/future husband seeks wise counsel from You Lord, and that he does not become
weak minded. I pray that my husband will resist the temptation to engage in adulterous acts, and
Lord I ask that you release a heavy spirit of conviction when those thoughts arise. Our family
will not fall victim to adultery, regardless of our family lineage. Lord, I ask that you break the
chains of generational curses that will have men not walking in their God given authority. I thank
You Lord that my husband/future husband will not be enticed and influenced by the spirit of
darkness. I cancel the assignment of the enemy and I thank You Lord in advance for the
blessings that you have for our family. In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Day 12: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Past

No matter what our age, we all have a past, right? We have all been part of various situations
and occurrences that have shaped our thinking and reactions to many things in our lives. How we
absorbed things from our past can either bring happiness or hurt to our current/future marriages.
The enemy attacks in so many ways starting with our mind so that’s why it’s imperative we pray
over the past of our husband/future husband.

Scriptures: Ephesians 4:32; Proverbs: 15:31; Philippians 4:13

Dear Heavenly Father,

I open up my heart to you in total thanks to who You are. As I take a moment to peek back into
my past, I cannot help but to praise you even more. The situations you brought me out of, the
things/harm You kept me from; I just thank You. Even when harm did come my way, you
allowed me to be spared just enough to pray to You today. You are a Father of many chances, so
with my humble heart, I take the time to lift up my husband/future husband to you. I know
everything happens for a reason and many things are beyond human comprehension. Therefore, I
cover my husband’s/future husband’s mind, body, emotions, and spirit with your blood. I pray
for you to release the hurt from whatever occurred in his past. Whether he suffered
abandonment, abuse, neglect, mistrust, insecurities, infidelities, fear; let your love just fall on
him right now. Bring ease to those wounds so they will heal and no longer cause harm to our
future.  I come against and cut off the lifeline of each and every spirit which sustains
generational curses. I cancel the enemy’s assignment and declare these things will no longer be
able to bring dissension and confusion into our lives or the lives of our children/future children. I
know you are a forgiving God so let your compassion shower down on my husband/future
husband so he will be able to forgive as you have forgiven us. Let not one stone go unturned as
you heal him from any misconceptions and unhealthy habits he knowingly/unknowingly picked
up from his past. Lord, I ask that you soften his heart even more so he can accept and retain your
life-giving correction, for we know you correct those you love. Turn his past tests into
testimonies that he will use to bring freedom to other men who may not know you. With that I
ask, as you heal and correct him, do the same for me. Deliver me from the past pains and
hindering spirits that will stop me from being that wife you destined me to be. Change can be
hard and there will be rough patches, but I declare these prayers in faith knowing that my
husband/future husband and I can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength. So
standing firm on Your Word, I thank you in advance for these many blessings. In Jesus’ Name,
Amen!

“Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Respect your husband

Notice how it doesn't say “Respect your husband if he has earned it”. A man’s greatest need in
this world is to be respected, and the person he desires that respect from the most is his wife. 
The trap that we've all been ensnared by is that they only deserve our respect when they earn it.
Yes, we want our husbands to make decisions that will ultimately garner our respect, but the
truth is that your husband is a human being. A human being who makes mistakes, this is the man
that YOU have chosen to walk alongside you for the rest of your life and to lead your family and
he needs to be respected for that quality alone. Take it from me – when respect is given even
when he doesn't deserve it, it will motivate him to earn it. That doesn't mean you pretend that his
choices are good ones when they aren't. Things like that still need to be communicated, but you
can flesh out your differences WITH RESPECT. It makes all the difference in the world to him.

Learn his love language

Everyone has a love language. The way you perceive love is often different from the way your
spouse perceives love. Does he like words of affirmation, or does he respond better when you
give him gifts? Whatever his love language is – learn it and USE IT.
Day 13: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Vision

It’s often been said that if you can see it, you can achieve it. Men are visual creatures that truly
can be distracted or attracted by what they see. This is all the more reason why we need to pray
for his vision spiritually and physically. Does he see himself as the king that God created him to
be? Does he have a vision for his life as well as for the family he will lead or is already leading
(Prov 29:18)?

 A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. In life men have many things
that can cloud their vision. Sometimes these “cataracts” may have come in the form of
disappointment because of failed dreams and unsuccessful pursuits, words spoken over him that
has bruised his self-esteem, or limits placed on him by society and/or past relationships.  A man
without a vision for his life is not prepared to lead or govern the home that you want to build.
How can you be his help meet if he has no direction or vision for his life (Luke 6:39)?

For some men they may have an awesome vision and plans for their life but distractions have
come that have ultimately caused him to no longer pursue the goals and God given purpose for
his life. Maybe your Boaz suffers from a visual deficit. This is usually caused by fear which is
known as false evidence appearing real. This causes him to see himself as less than what God
created him to be and shy away from the visions and dreams God wants to bring forth in his life
(Numbers 13:33). Let us pray that God restores the vision and dreams of the men he has prepared
or is preparing for our lives.  

Today let’s pray that:

1.      God would restore your husband/future husband’s vision and dreams for his life and family.

2.      God would do a work on his eyes so that he can see himself as the victor that he was created
to be and continue to pursue the plans that God has for his life.  

3.      Your husband/future husband would only have eyes for you so that he will not fall into
temptation.

4.      You will remain the apple of his eye and that he would see you as God sees you.

Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2; 2 Kings 6:17; Proverbs 29:18


Lord,

I thank you today for the man of God that You have blessed or will bless me with and the
opportunity to serve as the Chief Intercessor in his life. Right now, I cover his vision physically
and spiritually. I thank you for giving him a vision for his life so that he may lead our family in
the way you desire us to go. Lord, if he has lost his way, restore the vision and dreams that he
had for his life.  I pray that if there be any “cataracts” that you would do a work on him and
remove them now. I come against fear that would make him see himself as less than the great
man of God you created him to be. I pray that a holy boldness would rise up in him and that he
would dare to believe you for the things you have spoken to him. Lord, open his eyes so that he
will see you in all that he does and how your hand has been on his life safely guiding him
through every trial that he has faced. Bless him with the patience to wait on you as you bring to
pass the vision and dreams you have given him for his life and his family. I come against get rich
quick schemes, shortcuts, or ungodly influences that would try to show him any way other than
your way to achieve his goals.  I cancel the assignment of every distraction that would pull his
attention away from you or me. I pray that I will always be the apple of his eye and that he be
pleased by what he sees when he looks at me. Help me support his vision and be the help meet
that he needs and desires. In Jesus name, Amen

Deal with your fears. Since fear is incompatible with love (it prevents you from doing what
love leads you to do), you need to identify your fears and pray for God to help you overcome
them in order to enjoy a successful dating relationship. Some common fears for single parents
who are dating are: losing their connections to their kids, causing their kids pain, not being able
to blend their families well, choosing a poor candidate for a new spouse, having their ex-spouses
make their lives miserable, and being spiritually judged. Confess whatever your own fears are to
God and ask for His help to move beyond them, through the power of love. Don’t give into fear-
based practices such as living with the person you’re dating before marriage (or staying over at
each other’s houses). Instead, trust God to give you the courage to either truly commit to each
other through marriage or walk away if you’re not right for each other.

Rather than looking for the right person, become the right person. Instead of looking for the
right person to date, first focus on becoming the spiritually and emotionally healthy person that
God wants you to be before entering into another romantic relationship. Honestly ask yourself
whether or not you’ve healed from the trauma of your divorce or previous spouse’s death, how
confident you are in relying on God alone instead of hoping that dates will meet your emotional
needs, and how vulnerable you are to being drawn into romantic fantasies that distort the reality
of relationships. Keep in mind that the loss of your previous marriage has permanently changed
you and your kids, but those changes can result in you all growing to become stronger people
who are more like Jesus. Surrender your own will for your dating life to God and trust Him to
lead you as you consider new dating relationships.
Day 14: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Humility

Scriptures: Proverbs 16:5, Proverbs 11:2, Proverbs 29:23, Proverbs 16:18, Galatians 6:3,
Proverbs 26:12

 Ok, so after those scriptures, I don’t think I have to give much explanation as to why we need to
pray for our husbands/futures husbands to be men who operate in humility instead of pride.
According to Proverbs 16:5, God despises all those who are proud and arrogant and says they
will be punished. According to Proverbs 11:2, humility comes with wisdom. We definitely want
the man who is leading our lives to be wise! According to Proverbs 29:23, pride results in
humiliation but a humble spirit will gain honor. We certainly want our husbands to be men of
honor and integrity. Proverbs 16:18 says pride precedes destruction. We know the enemy will try
to come to steal, kill and destroy our husband and our marriage, so praying for his humility can
cancel any destruction that could occur as a result of pride.

The Bible says that Moses was the most humble man on the face of the earth. (Numbers 12:3)
Through his humility, look how God was able to use Moses to accomplish great works and lead a
nation of people out of bondage into the Promised Land! We should pray that our
husbands/future husbands walk in humility so God can use them to do mighty works in the Earth
as well!

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You today with love and humility.  Lord, I ask that you deliver me from any spirits that
may cause me to operate in pride, arrogance, conceit or vanity. Lord, Your Word says,” The
reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life." (Proverbs 22:4) Through
my humility, I seek to find favor in Your sight and obtain the riches, honor and life promised in
Your Word. As I humble myself to You, I ask that You teach me how to humble myself to my
husband/future husband. Lord, help me to exhibit humility, gentleness, patience and sacrificial
love as his wife. Lord, I lift up my husband/future husband to You and I pray that he will exhibit
the humility of Moses. I come against all spirits of pride, arrogance, haughtiness and egotism.
According to Your Word in Luke 14:11, I pray that as he humbles himself before You, You will
exalt him. Lord, I thank You for preparing my husband to do great works for Your Kingdom and
Your people. I pray that he will always give all glory to You and not praise himself.  Lord, Your
Word says with humility comes wisdom, so I thank You for bestowing wisdom, understanding
and revelation to my husband/future husband. I pray that he will lead our household with
humility, love and patience. I pray these things, In Jesus’ Name, Am

1. Don’t Argue- You are not always right, and you do not always have to have the last word.
Be the first to say, “I’m sorry.” Be willing to accept the blame. It takes two to argue, so
“abandon a quarrel before it breaks out.” (Proverbs 17:14; 21:19; 25:24)
2. Protect His Name -Honor your husband in the way you speak of him to family and
friends. Guard his reputation and do not let minor disagreements at home cause you to
speak ill of him in public. Live in such a way that it will be obvious to others why your
husband married you in the first place. (Proverbs 12:4; 22:1)
Day 15: "Pray Like a Wife".............. For His Leadership

Today, we are praying for our husband's/future husband's leadership skills. According to the
Bible, the husband is called to lead his wife. Though this is an unpopular idea in this day and in
this culture, it is scriptural and the way God designed marriage to be.

Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-24

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to you today and I submit myself to you as the head of my life. According to Your Word,
a husband is to be head of his wife in the same way that Christ is head of his church. Lord, I ask
that you help me to truly understand what this means and remove any worldly way of thinking
that would prevent me from walking in agreement to Your Word. I pray that my husband/future
husband will follow you and lead our family in the right direction. I pray that he will love me the
way you loved the church according to Ephesians 5:25. I pray that he will study the way you
loved the church and he will seek to imitate your love and leadership. Lord, give my
husband/future husband a vision for our family and guide him as he leads us closer to you. I pray
that he will lead with love, humility, patience and wisdom.  Lord, I pray that my husband/future
husband will lead our family in worship and will ensure our family spends time praying and
studying Your Word. I pray that he will lead as a father by taking responsibility in teaching and
training our children. Lord, I ask that you teach my husband/future husband to lead as a godly
husband with love, gentleness, dignity and confidence. I pray that every decision he makes as my
leader will honor You. I pray all these things, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Day 16: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Ability To Hear


God

 “Can you hear me now?”  How many times have you asked this question on a call that seems to
have a bad connection or poor signal? Imagine, if you can, how many times God has the same
problem with us! Social media, busy schedules, priorities, extracurricular actives, and much
more all cloud our signal/ connection with God which ultimately will limit our ability to hear
from God. A husband’s ability to hear God clearly is directly connected to his ability to lead,
make decisions, and follow the plans God has for his family. Therefore, as wives and future
wives we must pray for our husband’s hearing.

One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible, Isaiah 30:21, tells us that our ears will hear a voice
telling us which way to go. Well, if this is true why we are so unsettled in our decision making
and feel as if God’s not speaking? The problem isn't in the lack of direction but within our ability
to hear the directions that God gives. The enemy knows this and goes out of his way to keep us
busy, distracted, and ignorant of God’s plans each day. This leads me to my next question. How
can your husband or future husband hear the directions if he doesn't know who he is listening
for?
Often times it can be difficult to hear God clearly because His voice is unfamiliar so it is easily
drowned out by all the other miscellaneous noise. Praying for your husband’s hearing as well as
his ability to know the voice of God is vital to the success of any marriage as it is directly
connected to your husband’s ability to lead and make the right decisions for your family. Today
we will focus on covering our men and their ability to hear God and know God’s voice. 

Scriptures: Isaiah 30: 21; Psalms 32: 8; Proverbs 1:5; John 10: 4-6

Father God,

In the name of Jesus, I lift up the man of God you have blessed to be the King, Priest, and
Prophet of my home. Lord I cover him in the blood of Jesus. I cancel every assignment of the
enemy and speak life over every area of his life that does not thrive as you have ordained. Today,
I pray that he would have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying and a heart to receive all that
you instruct him to do. I come against distractions that would cloud his ability to hear you
clearly. I silence the voice of the enemy that would speak to him through ungodly counsel,
ungodly influences, and ungodly thoughts. I cast down a rebellious spirit that would lead him to
go astray from what the Word of God says or what you have instructed him to do. I come against
disobedience and/or partial obedience that would cause him not to follow you.  I thank You that
You speak to him daily and You desire to lead him as he leads us. I pray that You would help
him to prioritize time each day to spend in Your presence to commune with You. Lord, help him
to develop an intimacy with you that would allow him to know your voice so that he would not
follow another. Help him to study your word so that he would meditate on your word and hear
You clearly.  I come against distractions that would cause him to be “too busy” and create
background noise that would drown out your voice so that he misses divine instruction.  I thank
You today that You are perfecting those things that concern him and You are lifting every
burden that he carries. Guide him with your eyes today in his decision making. Show him clearly
which path that he should take. I come against frustration and discouragement that would have
him to settle for less than God is best. I pray that he would be patient and wait to hear from You
in every situation. I decree and declare that he will not walk in fear but walk in the authority you
have given him because you are with him. Lord help me to speak into his life and be a vessel in
which You use to minister to him. I thank you for continuing to make me the help meet he needs
and desires.  In Jesus’ name, Amen!     

Day 17: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Voice

As humans, we think a lot. There are so many things running through our brains every second of
every day. Although women have a reputation of sometimes “over-thinking” (come on, admit it),
men have just as many thoughts as we do. But as leaders, role-models, and heads of households,
we want our husbands/future husbands to not only think Godly thoughts, but SPEAK godly
words. We want our husband/future husband to be fearless in the Holy Spirit and cast down all
things that are not of God. I can’t think of anything more attractive than a husband grabbing his
wife by the hands and say “Honey, we need to pray!” and leading her into an intense and fervent
prayer. As wives, we must be mindful of the submission expected in a marriage. I would assume
it could be sometimes challenging to submit to a man who is afraid to speak on what the Lord
has put on his heart. This is why we much pray for our husband's/future husband's to use their
voice to proclaim the Word of the Lord!

Scriptures: Ephesians 4:15; Proverbs 11:9; Ephesians 4:29

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to you today, giving you thanks and total praise. Lord, you have loved me before I was
formed in the womb. I thank you for your grace, love and mercy. I ask for your forgiveness for
the ungodly words that I have allowed to pass through my lips. There have been plenty of times
when you have given me the words to say, but instead, I chose to operate out of my own
emotions. I ask that you continue to guide my words and my voice. I thank You that those words
will uplift and support my husband/future husband, so that he will feel encouraged to continue to
speak only the words You have placed in his heart. Lord, I ask that you remove all fear from his
heart so that he may boldly call out Satan’s attacks. Place on his heart to allow wisdom to guide
his words. I pray that his words will not destroy his neighbors, but will uplift the just. His voice
will sing your praises. I pray that he will wake up and shout out your greatness. I pray he will
pray from his heart and soul each day and his words will bring honor to your name. Please bless
my husband/future husband with the desire to use his words only for the good of the Kingdom.
Thank You for using his voice to win souls, to speak life into dead situations, to build
relationships, to speak healing into the sick, to speak prosperity into the poor, to call out sin and
cast it into the obedience of Christ. I also ask that my husband/future husband use his voice to
speak life into his primary ministry, our home/marriage. In Jesus’ name I humbly pray, Amen.

“Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Take His Advice

Do not dismiss his opinions lightly, especially when you’ve asked for his counsel in the first place.
Make every effort to follow your husband’s advice.

Day 18: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For Him as a Father

Honoring one's mother and father made it in the Ten Commandments for a reason. It is
extremely important and it is not to be overlooked. The children are to obey their parents,
because it is the Word, but as a parent/stepparent/future parent, we are to live righteously and
deserving of the honor that our children will give us. Since the man is the head of the household
it is important that he is not only a Godly husband, but a Godly father as well. Proverbs 22:6
says, “Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from
it.” Our men will help build warriors for Christ, and this will be a generational blessing passed
down through the generations. But we must first pray. Pray that your husband/future husband
will be a good father-disciplining his children wisely and loving them unconditionally. If he is
not a father, pray that he will find a young man to mentor in the things of the Lord. Pray that he
will have discernment when it comes to their emotions and safety. Pray that he will be the
protector of his family, and a role model to fatherless young men. Even if your husband is
already a father, prayers are still imperative because they block any future battles with the
enemy. Remember that your prayers don’t expire. 

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Ephesians 6:4

Dear Lord,

I come to you praising you just for who you are. I thank You Lord for the perfect plan that you
have for my life, and how merciful you are to me despite my shortcomings. Today I pray for the
fatherhood of my husband/future husband. Let him be the Godly father that you have called him
to be. I pray that he will seek wise counsel from you Lord, teaching him how to love as well as
how to discipline our children. I pray that he will be slow to anger, and that he will practice
patience at all times. Lord, I am requesting that you build my husband strong in his own identity
so that he can teach our children how to love you as well as themselves. I pray that my husband
will behave in an upstanding manner even outside of the presence of our children. I ask that you
remove all financial frustrations, mental roadblocks, and concerns of the world from him. Any
hindering spirit that would try to stop him from being anything less than an amazing father, I
cancel that attack of the enemy right now. My husband will be an example to my daughter of
how men should treat her, and an example to my son of how he should treat women. I thank you
for my husband/future husband, and I thank You for adding a blessing to our family. In Jesus
name, Amen

Day 19: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His


Communication

Who knows that communication can be an ultimate deal breaker!? Have you ever heard of the
saying: “It’s not what you say but how you say it” or “If you don’t have anything nice to say then
don't say anything at all”. Well communication, or lack thereof, comes in all forms. If used
properly, it can be barrier breakers, confidence boosters, used as an instrument of love/peace,
bridge builders, and a vital tool for strength and health. This is when God is in the midst. Now on
the flip side, when the enemy peeks in, we all know how bad communication can affect us! It can
destroy relationships of all kinds and cause potentially lifelong wounds and bondage. That’s why
it is ever so important that we cover our husband/future husband in prayer for this!

In today's prayer, we are going to touch on how your husband/future husband communicates
with God, yourself, and others.

Scriptures: Psalm 5: 2-4; Ephesians 4:25-29; 2 Timothy 1:7; Proverbs 18:21-


Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you as humble as I know how. I know you are the beginning and the end, the
ultimate Truth and Light of all things. Without you, there would be no me and without Your
Son’s death and resurrection, I could not come to you like this today. So I thank you and ask
forgiveness for any sin that would hinder the effectiveness of this prayer. You are so worthy God
and in all Your Greatness. I lift up my husband/future husband’s communication to you today.
Lord, I acknowledge the enemy uses communication to steal, kill and destroy so I pray for the
health of my husband/future husband’s communication with you. Let him be quick to openly
come to you with a humble spirit about all things concerning his/our life. Let him not only come
to you to talk and repent but let him also be quick to listen to your response. I declare that he will
always operate in obedience to your instruction. Cleanse him from his sins so he can hear clearly
hear from you. Let your emotions be his emotions and your thoughts be his thoughts so he can
operate in a manner that is pleasing to you. Lord bless his communications with me as his wife. I
call on your mercy to give us a clean slate from prior pains and damage. Let him be slow to
anger but quick to love and reconcile. Help us to be molded and understand the ways we need to
communicate with one another. Let his/our words and emotions build Godly bridges of health,
respect, wealth, and love. I call immediate destruction to future words of death. I come against
and bind the spirits that promote anger issues, rebellion, emotional shut downs, passivity, and
aggression. With that I boldly loose your fruits of love, peace, and gentleness into our
atmosphere. The efforts of humans can only do so much so I ask for You to meet him wherever
he is and give him a supernatural boost of self-control that will withstand the test of time. I cover
his communications and expressions with his children, at his workplace, church and wherever he
goes. Let not one ounce of past issues with emotions be carried over into our destiny. And with
all this Father, I ask that you give me the added grace to be patient and understanding while Your
work in him is done; for it is Your timing and not my own. So help me to stand in the position of
Your Power and remain/become an unwavering and forgiving wife of peace and respect. In
Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. 

Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Never talk negatively about him. 

I learned this lesson the hard way too. If you’re going through a difficult time in your marriage
and you need advice, see a counselor. Family counseling is a great tool, but try to remember that
your family members and friends are not the most objective people to give advice. The argument
they are hearing is one-sided and they often build up negative feelings toward your spouse,
which usually doesn’t subside once you and your husband have gotten past it. Protect his image
with those that you’re close with and seek help from those that can actually be objective.  News
flash, ladies – your mother cannot be objective!
Day 20: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Safety

As a wife or future wife, it is imperative that you keep your husband/future husband covered in
prayer. Does my husband pray and cover himself? He sure does and I'm sure his mother and
others pray and cover him as well. However, it is my responsibility because he's my husband and
we are ONE! When you pray you don't ask the Lord to only cover half of you but your whole
self. As I do my daily prayers, one of the number one things on my list is to pray for my
husband's safety and protection. Before he leaves the house we pray together. If we miss the
opportunity, I'll call him on the phone or send him a text message. Sending your husband/future
husband out without covering him in prayer is like sending him out with a red target on his back
-(Come and get them' devil). That's not the message that you want to send out. You want to make
sure the enemy and his crew are fully aware that they cannot come against your spouse/future
spouse because you have already covered him in prayer and in the blood of Jesus, and
NOTHING can come against the blood of Jesus! The enemy may try but through your power and
authority, he will have to back, back.

Scripture: Psalm 91:9,10; Isaiah 54:17; Psalm 121: 7-8.

Hallelujah Lord,

I come before You thanking You for who You are and who You are in me. Thank you for Your
Spirit and for Your presence being with me right now as I say this prayer. Thank You for hearing
my every word and working on my behalf. I come before You today lifting up my husband (Say
Their Name)/ future husband. I thank You for him and I ask that you cover him and keep him
safe. I plead the blood of Jesus over his mind, body, and spirit. I ask that You cover the vehicle
that he travels in on today and cover him as he's on his job. Wherever he places his foot to go on
today, be with him Lord. I release his angels to go out before him to protect him, to stop and
block any, seen and unseen, harm and danger that would try to come his way. I cancel every
assignment, set up, trap, plot, and ploy set up by the enemy. It is canceled in Jesus name! Lord, I
pray for a fire wall and a shield of protection to surround my husband/future husband at all times.
I thank You that nothing will penetrate and no weapon that is formed against him shall prosper.
Lord, I thank You that the same way he left his house and his family is the same way that will
return on today. I come against all injuries, accidents, and mishaps. My husband/future husband
is covered on today and Lord, I thank You for being that covering. In all these things, I ask in
your name Jesus, Amen!

"Wife Life": Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

“Stop Praying About your Husband and Pray For Your Husband."

Irritated. Frustrated. Hurt.

Those were the words bumping around in my mind as I grabbed my Bible and sat down to do
some sort of quiet time. I felt like such a fake, mindlessly scanning these words on thin pages.
My heart wasn’t connecting. My mind wasn’t tuned in. All I could think about was the argument
I’d had with my husband.  

I closed my Bible and decided a much more productive thing to do with this situation would be
to pray. How spiritually sound I felt listing all the many things the Lord could do to fix my man
– all that was wrong with him. Suddenly in the middle of my prayer, all I could sense God saying
was, “Stop.”

God wasn’t looking for me to be a “fix him” wife. God was looking for me to be a “love him”
wife.

I needed to stop praying. At least, I needed to stop praying the way I had been. Yes, there were
things my husband needed to work on. But nothing good was happening when all I did was
complain about him.

I needed to be a wife daring enough to ask God to reveal to me how to love him. And I needed to
ask God where I was going wrong, where I was being selfish, and where I needed to work.

When I shifted my focus on letting God change me, that’s when I started to see real
progress.

In the season of struggling through all of this, God taught me three powerful lessons:

1. Is this an irritation or an issue?

There is a big difference between an irritation and an issue. Identifying the difference helps me
pick my battles. If this is just an irritation, maybe I need to practice being more flexible, patient,
or willing to extend grace.

2. Am I praying about or for my husband?

If I do sense something that needs to change then I need to pray for my husband, not about him.
Praying about him is just ranting. Praying for him means digging into God’s Word and praying
Scriptures specific to his struggles. That’s powerful! When we pray the WORD of God, we pray
the WILL of God.

3. Where is my focus?

I’ll never be able to control how another person acts and reacts, but I certainly can control how I
act and react. My focus shouldn’t be on having the right partner. My focus should be on being
the right partner.
Slowly, as I shifted my heart in these areas, I saw such progress in our marriage. Do I still get
irritated, frustrated and hurt? Of course.

But when I stopped trying to fix him, I was freed up to just love him.

Day 21: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For Him As A Protector

I have personally been in so many dangerous situations. A few years ago, I was attacked in my
home with a gun. Once, I was caught in the middle of a shoot-out between 2 armed men. I have
been in the midst of so many different attacks and fights. Growing up without a father, I never
had a male figure as a protector in my life. Through it all, I was covered in the blood of Jesus and
God protected me from hurt, harm and death. I praise God for being there for me when man was
not. I also look forward to being married to a man of valor whom God will place as the protector
of my household. As wives/future wives, we must pray for God to equip our husbands/future
husbands to protect and defend our families.

The online article, Leadership In The Home- The Godly Man Protects lists four ways a man
should protect his wife:

1.      Protect your wife physically. As we have seen, a godly husband uses his strength to protect
his wife from any physical harm. He puts himself in harm’s way rather than risking her harm. He
does not allow himself to feel that he needs to turn his cheek to any kind of abuse of his wife, but
reacts with strength even at the risk of his own harm. He will face his own harm, he will face his
own death, to keep his wife from suffering at the hand of others.

2.      Protect your wife emotionally. The godly husband will protect his wife’s heart. One of the
ways he does this is by becoming a student of her. He learns what she loves and learns what she
hates; he learns what draws her heart to him and what turns her heart from him. He avoids
anything that will damage or scar her heart. “Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an
understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel” (1 Peter 3:7).

3.      Protect your wife sexually. This is a particular area of responsibility from a husband to a
wife. The godly husband will not demand of his wife what she is unwilling or unable to give. He
will not force her or badger her into sexual deeds that violate her body or violate her conscience.
He seeks to protect her from any kind of sexual harm, including the false messages that can come
from raunchy movies or from pornography.

4.      Protect your wife spiritually. Protect your wife spiritually, primarily by your commitment to
pray for her, to hold her up before the throne of God. Commit yourself to praying for her every
day and even many times a day. Pray for her constantly, repeatedly, unceasingly. Know that your
prayers, as her leader, as her husband, must have special value before God. Tell her that you pray
for her and ask her what you can pray for on her behalf.

Scripture: John 15:13; Proverbs 4:23; 1 Timothy 4:16


Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You with thanksgiving and praise! Thank You for protecting me from all seen and
unseen hurt, harm and danger. Lord, you have guarded me even when I stepped out of Your will
and I am so appreciative. There is protection in the blood of Jesus and I thank You for the pain
You endured when You were crucified on the cross and Your blood was shed for my sake. I
know I am covered in the blood of Jesus and no harm can come near my dwelling. Lord, I lift up
my husband/future husband to You and I cover him in the blood of Jesus. I pray that You
strengthen him and give him the courage he needs to protect and defend our family and myself.
Lord, I come against all spirits of fear, intimidation, timidity and low self-esteem. I pray that he
will see himself the way You see him- as a mighty man of valor. I pray that my husband/future
husband will not only protect me physically but emotionally as well. I pray he will guard my
heart and avoid doing or saying anything that would hurt it. I pray that he will always protect our
union and not allow anyone or anything to tear it apart. Lord, I ask that You give my husband the
power to withstand temptation to do anything that would bring hurt, harm or danger to our
family. Lord, draw him close to You and give him the strength to fight every attack the enemy
sends our way. Lord, help me to protect my husband by keeping all unnecessary threats, danger,
arguments and negative attitudes away from our household. Lord, I ask that You place it on my
husband’s/future husband’s heart to pray for our family and myself unceasingly and to cover us
in the blood of Jesus daily. I ask these things, In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

PRAYER ON VIDEO

“Wife Life”: Advice For Wives and Future Wives:

1 Corinthians 7: 1-5- Now about the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a
celibate life. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own
wife, and each woman should have her own husband. The husband should not deprive his wife of
sexual intimacy, which is her right as a married woman, nor should the wife deprive her
husband. The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband also gives
authority over his body to his wife. So do not deprive each other of sexual relations. The only
exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from sexual
intimacy for a limited time, so they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterward
they should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt them because of their lack
of self-control.

Here is a link to blog post entitled, Is Withholding Sex From My Husband A Sin? It provides
great insight on the topic from a biblical standpoint. Here are some excerpts from the blog that
tackle the question....Is withholding sex from your husband a sin?

What if I’m too tired? What if I’m stressed or I have a headache? What if I don’t feel
comfortable? What if I’m busy? 

Too tired? Remember it’s your marital duty to fulfill your husband. Yes, you will have nights
where you are too tired, but if you’re “too tired” often, it’s time to reevaluate your life. Dear
wife, save time and energy for sex. Throwing out the “I’m too tired” excuse is a cop-out in my
opinion. If you’re overwhelming yourself with your daily duties or getting distracted by activities
so that you save sex until the last minute, then you need to rework your schedule and where
you’re putting your energy. No, I’m not a mom yet but I do know that juggling kids can be
exhausting, especially as a new mother. But you’re married to your husband, not your kids. He
needs you. Show him you love him by needing him too.

Too busy? Then un-busy! Your husband is your first priority. Everything else can wait. Talk
with your husband and agree to let him pick one thing to drop off your plate. And if he comes to
you first and asks you to let something go, respect him and do it. Being too busy puts too much
stress on you, and doesn’t give you enough time to relax and enjoy a healthy sex life. And most
importantly, it doesn’t satisfy your husband.

Too stressed/Have a headache? Endorphins released during sex have actually been proven to
help headaches sometimes (but it doesn’t work for everyone). It doesn’t always work for me, but
usually it temporarily alleviates or dulls the pain, long enough for me to enjoy my husband. Sex
is also a great stress reliever and a way to ward off anxiety. If I’m stressed or anxious about
something, asking my husband to be with me not only comforts me, but releases tension and
makes him feel needed and loved.

Feel uncomfortable? A vast majority of women experience pain during intercourse or feel shy
about being “sexual” and “intimate” with their husbands. It’s a vulnerable place to be in. If you
are experiencing pain, seek a medical professional or opinion. There are many things you can do
from exercises to positions to help alleviate pain. If you’re uncomfortable being naked in front of
your husband, it’s time to face your fears. Talk to your husband about why you feel
uncomfortable. Consider your sexual history (i.e. misguided teachings, abuse, guilt, shame, etc)
and if you need to, seek a counselor for some guidance. Open yourself up to being vulnerable
with your husband. He loves you remember? Go gently and slowly. Spend time in prayer
together. There’s nothing Satan likes more than undermining a woman’s confidence and her
beauty. Kick those Devil’s lies right out by asking your husband to pray over you.

Day 23: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Health

At alarming rates, men are losing the battle against deadly diseases and incurring debilitating
injuries due to illnesses that God’s word says we have the victory over.  Sickness and disease is
not God’s will for your life. When we look at John 10:10 we can clearly see that satan has a
desire to wreak havoc in the lives of God’s people.  BUT, the latter part of that verse ensures us
that through Jesus Christ we have life and that MORE abundantly. Why is it then that many walk
around defeated in the area of their health? Does this promise not apply to this area of life as
well? Of course it does which is why today, we will be praying for our husband’s/future
husband’s health.

 Our bodies are the vehicles which we use to navigate life and carry out the assignments that God
has for our lives.  This alone would make our health high on the list of targets for satan to attack!
If he can disable the vehicle then he will be successful in stopping the plan of God for your life.
Imagine, if you would, you had a car that you never put any gas in, never changed the oil, never
rotated the tires, never washed the outside or cleaned out the inside of your car, and drove at high
speeds through every pothole you could find. Eventually the misuse of this vehicle would lead to
some extensive damage that would reflect your carelessness and disregard for the vehicle. Well,
if our bodies are the vehicles in which we navigate life to carry out our assignments in the earth, 
you can only imagine the damage that many of us are doing on a daily basis with our
carelessness as we drive and treat our bodies as the owner of that vehicle we just discussed. Our
mental health is like the engine; don’t ignore the check engine light because it is an indicator that
something seems to be going wrong under the hood. Ignoring the warnings may lead to further
damage or eventually a total breakdown if left unchecked. Years of no maintenance, lack of care,
and ignoring indicators that something is wrong are key reasons why many people are falling
victim to untimely deaths and severe injury as a result of their carelessness. Pastor Miles Munroe
is often quoted saying in his books “when the purpose of a thing is unknown abuse is inevitable.”
If people truly understood the impact that neglect of their physical and mental health had on
every aspect of their lives, I believe we would see less carelessness and a higher regard for
leading a much healthier life. After all we are not ignorant of satan’s devices and we dare not
assist the enemy in his plot to take us out!

 I absolutely love being a Nurse Practitioner and taking care of God’s people but I am even more
excited about being an intercessor  for my future husband! Today we will focus on the scriptures
below and pray for our husband’s and future husband’s health (physically, mentally, spiritually).

Scriptures: 3 John 1:2; Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Father God,

I thank You that healing belongs to Your children and that You desire for us to be in health as
our souls prosper.  I lift up my husband/future husband to You and declare that he is healed from
the crown of his head to the soles of his feet according to Isaiah 53:5. Thank you Lord that he is
fearfully and wonderfully made and every part of his body works as it was designed and
ordained to work by You.  I come against all sickness and disease and I bind it now, in the name
of Jesus. I loose Your healing power to work in his life spiritually, mentally, and physically. I
cancel the assignment of satan that would attack his mind and his mental health. I call out (name
any mental illness that your husband may be battling) and I command it to go now in Jesus
name. I speak life to him and declare that he has the mind of Christ and his mind is being
renewed daily as he mediates on the Word of God. I speak to every physical attack that would try
to torment him physically and I decree and declare that my husband walks in total healing and no
weapon formed against him shall prosper. I speak to (name any illness or symptom that he may
have/suffer from) and command it go now in Jesus name.  Lord if he walks in unforgiveness or
bitterness that would open him up to illness help him to release the anger and the hurt to You so
that he can walk in wholeness and receive his healing now, in Jesus name. Help him Lord to
study Your word so that he may continue to feed his spirit with the truth and Your daily bread. I
come against those things that would contaminate his sprit and cause him to fall away from Your
will and Your purpose for his life.

  Lord I  pray that you would help him to understand the purpose of being healthy and how this
directly impacts his life, ministry, role as a husband/father, and overall quality of life. I speak life
and declare that he shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Please forgive him
for each time he has handled his body carelessly or without regard. Teach him Lord to love and
care for his body in a way that pleases You. Help us as a family to lead a healthier life with
balanced meals, exercise, and adequate rest so that we may glorify You with our bodies. Thank
You in advance in Jesus name, Amen.
Day 24: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Deliverance

If we were in church and the pastor said “Whoever needs to be delivered from...negativity,
please stand up”, how many of us would jump up? I can guess, not many. Whether we broadcast
it or not, we all have struggles we need to be delivered from. Things from our past, present bad
habits, hurt and rejection are just some things we need to be cleansed from. They can come in the
form of various generational curses like substance abuse and verbal abuse. They may present as
bad habits like negative/defensive thoughts or gossip, or even the tendency of needing to be in
control or having to plan every detail. What about struggles with lustful thoughts and desires,
feeling like you are not good enough, needing to feel accepted or that thing called selfishness? If
we can be honest, some of us are pretty familiar with a few of those. I know I have been guilty of
several!

Well SIS, thankfully, the good news is here: It wasn't meant for us to struggle with these things
for the rest of our lives and you are NOT alone!! Even Stormie Omartian notes “Everyone needs
deliverance at certain times, because there are all kinds of things that can pull us into bondage.
God knows this. Why would Jesus have come as the Deliverer if we didn’t need one?” That same
bondage that is keeping us in our own “way” is the same bondage that will keep us from fully
walking in our destiny. So we need to use the Endless Power of our Father to break the yokes of
those things. Not only is it important for us to go to God about those things concerning
ourselves, but it is extremely important for us women to heavily intercede for our
husbands/future husbands regarding his deliverance as well!

So let’s get to it!

Scriptures: Psalm 18:2-3; Luke 9:23; Ephesians 6:12.

Heavenly Father,

I come before You seeking Your Almighty presence. I know I have not always done right by
You but ,in faith, I am asking for Your forgiveness.  I am coming before You to dedicate this
prayer for my husband/future husband but first I ask for You to do a work inside of me. Soften
my heart Jesus. Break down even the most hidden things within me that prevent me from being
closer to You. All hurt, all mistrust, all sin that is clogging my connection to You; I plead the
blood of Jesus so that I may be freed. I've experienced hurt before, but I can trust You to open up
my heart and destroy anything within me that would hinder this prayer for my husband/future
husband. I lift him up to You on today and pray for his deliverance from all things contrary to
Your word. You are our rock and fortress in whom we can take refuge; so shield my husband
from those very things that were assigned to destroy him and us. Spirits of lust, laziness,
alcoholism, anger, marital dysfunctions, generational curses-I come against these things with the
Blood of Jesus Christ. I command the yokes to be broken on all ill-gotten relationships, bad
habits, ungodly soul ties, distrust, and disloyalty. Let him fully trust in Your plan Lord and not
lean unto his own perspectives concerning our household/future household. I come against every
form of hindrance from his past including insecurities and inconsistencies. Since we are new
creations in You, I call on the release of the fruits of your love, discernment, and peace to fill
those areas in him You deemed to be free. You are the Ultimate Deliverer and I pray that my
husband will be strong through You and You alone. For we know the battle is not against flesh
and blood so help us to be forgiving toward and prayerful for one another as You lead us and our
household to Your Glory, In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 

“Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

How to build (or rebuild) trust in your marriage.

1. Don’t keep secrets.


In marriage, secrets are as dangerous as lies. Your spouse should have a “master key” to every
part of your life. Never have a conversation you wouldn’t want them to hear, view a website you
wouldn't want them to see or go someplace you wouldn't want them to know about. Complete
transparency is vital to building complete trust.

2. Recognize the difference between forgiveness and trust.


Forgiveness and trust are two different things. When you've been wronged, you should give
forgiveness instantly (which is “Grace”), but you should give your trust slowly (which is
“common sense!”). Forgiveness by it’s very nature cannot be earned; it can only be given. Trust
by it’s very nature cannot be given; it can only be earned. Forgiveness has to come first and then
grace can pave the way to restoration and renewed trust.

3. Don’t retaliate.
When we've been wronged, we usually have an urge to punish the person who wronged us. We
want them to feel the pain that they have caused us, but this kind of thinking hurts everyone
involved and damages trust even more. It’s been said, “Holding a grudge is like drinking poison
and then hoping the other person dies!” When you've been wronged in a relationship, give clear
and specific guidelines for how trust can be restored, but don’t punish the other person.

Day 25: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Reputation

As women we have the responsibility to protect the name of our husband/future husband. We
aren’t to let minor disagreements cause us to speak harshly of him in public. We are called as
wives to live in such a way that it will be apparent to others the reason our husband/future
husband married us in the first place. However, that does not mean that husbands can disregard
their reputations just as long as we honor them. Ladies we need to pray that he will love
righteousness and hate wickedness, especially the evils of the world. Pray that he will be able to
discern and avoid the tricks of the enemy in his own life, and that he will be bold enough to stand
against evil. Let us pray that our husbands will be honest in all areas of his life and never do
anything that he needs to hide from others.
Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:7; 1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.

Dear Lord,

I thank You for being the head of my life and knowing every need and desire of my heart. Lord ,I
come to You lifting up the reputation of my husband/future husband. I come against demonic
spirits that may try to come into his thoughts to persuade him to do wrong. Lord, I ask that You
send a spirit of conviction over his life during the times where he may be weak and temptation to
do wrong is strong. I pray Lord that he will be wise enough to recognize the conviction and
escape the act of participating in unGodly behaviors and activities. I thank You that my husband
is a warrior who will remember to cover his body in the full Armour of God each day when he
rises. I decree and declare that his reputation and legacy will be upstanding and kingdom
influenced, and that he will not only protect his reputation for himself but because he loves me
and our family. Anything in his past that will try to remind him of situations to keep him bound,
Lord I ask that you remove those people and memories from his life. From this day forward, the
character of my husband/future husband will be covered with your blood and protected by your
grace. I pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen

Day 26: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Attitude

Take a moment to think of a time when a person’s negative disposition either ruined or
threatened to ruin a joyous moment. Or someone’s prideful or selfish attitude made you regret
you lent a helping hand. How did those moments make you feel? Did they alter the way you
looked at the person afterwards? To some extent, I’m sure they did! Attitudes are important.
They can cause doors to open and others to slam shut by bringing life into a situation or causing
damage that’s hard to reverse. All this is especially true in a marriage. So ladies, its extremely
important we cover our husband’s/future husband's attitude in prayer. When he is at home, work
or anywhere in between, we need to pray that God covers his demeanor at all times.

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:17; Psalm 111:10; Philippians 2:3


Dear Lord,

I thank you for yet another opportunity to enter into Your Presence. You are the All-knowing
God, so your wisdom is far beyond my understanding. That is why I am grateful I can come to
you for important matters such as these for I know You will always provide a solution and help
shine light on things that need to be seen. So right now I come lifting up my husband/future
husband to you in prayer. Father, I come praying that my husband is reflective of Philippians 2:5
and his attitude begins to truly mirror that of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, mold his demeanor to
be righteous in your sight. I ask you to begin to remove any and all stumbling blocks that will
cause him to not show respect, love, and honor to you and Your people. Humble him God.  Let
me be able to step back while you let him see those things that trigger his frustrations. From
there, help him to expose the root cause of those bad attitudes so he can further commit to his
walk in you. Remove all selfishness that would keep him from expressing unconditional and
sacrificial love to me and his family. I pray he will always give You credit and praise for
everything he is given. I declare that he will be a man of Godly wisdom far beyond his years;
therefore his thoughts and words will be that of God-given life not death. I pray that he will be or
will continue to be a man of respect, not just an enforcer of it. As a woman of growing faith, I
proclaim no negative spirits will have place in my husband or in our household. I come against
every single assignment the enemy has to cause him to be prideful, selfish, ornery, and
disrespectful to me or anyone else. No matter the situation, let the progress you made in him
never waver. I also ask that you cover my attitude as well so I will not be a hindrance to my
husband or our destiny. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

“Wife Life”: Advice for Wives and Future Wives:

Motivated By Agape Love

Jesus calls us to live out agape love toward our spouse. Agape love is a selfless, sacrificial,
unconditional form of love. Agape is the love that Christ has for each one of us. Agape love is
based upon a decision, not a feeling. When you live out agape love, you choose to love, despite
the fact that you have been hurt. You choose to overlook the ways your spouse has slighted you.
You choose to forgive your spouse for the way he has hurt you.

You choose to do all of this because Christ has done this for you. You choose to do this to honor
God. You choose to love your spouse without expectation. You choose to love despite the cost.
Day 27: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Finances

While waiting to be "found", it's important to pray for your future husband's finances. You want
a man of God who is a good steward over his money. When you get married, you submit to your
husband as the head of the household. You want to pray that your husband is mature and uses
wisdom in this area. You also want to pray that your future husband is a tither and a seed sower,
because even if he's financially secure- the bible says he will miss out on receiving the full
manifestation of blessings which tithers/seed sowers are promised. (Malachi 3:9)

For those who are already married, if you find that your husband is weak in this area, begin to
pray for him daily. Pray that God will lead him and guide him to make good financial decisions
for his family. This is not an opportunity to speak down to or about your spouse to others, but if
saving and budgeting is your strong point- work with him. If possible, sit down together and go
over your income and monthly bills. Write out your monthly expenses, debt, savings etc. using a
budgeting sheet.  It may seem like common sense to you but if he comes from a family with bad
spending habits, this may be completely foreign to him

Scripture: Malachi 3:10, Hebrews 13:5, Philippians 4:19

Lord,

I come before You today lifting up my husband (Name)/future husband. Lord, I thank You that
he is financially mature, disciplined and uses Godly wisdom when it comes to making financial
decisions for himself and our family. I thank You that my husband/future husband is a tither and
a seed sower. I come against all stingy, drawback spirits that would make him withhold or give
grudgingly. Instead, Lord, I thank You that he's a cheerful giver and gives with a sincere heart. I
thank You that out of his obedience, he walks underneath a open heaven and favor and
prosperity follows him everywhere he goes. I thank You that his finances are blessed and that his
family is blessed. I thank You for rebuking the devour that would try to come to eat up his
seed. In Jesus Name, Amen!

 Single SISters Tips: Advice for Singles


5 Marriage Myths:

1) Marriage Fixes Everything

NOT. The life attitude you bring to a marriage is the one that soon asserts itself within the
marriage.

2) Married People are Less Lonely

Being single can be lonely. There’s no doubt. But being married can be just as lonely, and in the
context of a marriage that loneliness is worse. It’s certainly sadder to be within a life long
commitment and experience the pain of loneliness. A lonely single person can meet someone in
an instant, and experience love, romance and joy. Men or women who find themselves in an
empty, lonely marriage are often further depressed by the long road back to a fulfilling
relationship.

3) Marriage Makes You Happy

If you’re not a happy single person, the chances are good you’re not going to be a happy married
person.

Marriage doesn’t make you happy. You make you happy. Marriage can bring you great joy,
companionship and satisfaction. It can also bring you frustration, annoyance, anger and
confusion.

Your mate isn’t responsible for your happiness. If you’re looking to your spouse to make you
happy, you’re putting unrealistic pressure on the relationship. Just because you now have a life
partner doesn’t mean that you give up responsibility for your own happiness.

4) Marriage is a Finish Line

Consciously or subconsciously, some feel that they’ve “made it” and achieved something. It’s a
dangerous attitude to take — like celebrating for reaching the bottom of Mount Everest.

Of course, it’s fine to be happy on your wedding day, but all too often couples stop putting in the
real effort when it counts. Husbands stop calling to see how her day is going. Wives stop giving
him a shoulder rub while they watch TV. The idea of possession starts to enter in, “I’ve got
her/him now. Why do I have to try anymore?”

With a 50% divorce rate, you’d think couples would know that looking attractive, being
attentive, staying romantic, sharing intimately and remaining connected are vital to building a
long lasting relationship. But, sadly, many don’t.

5) “I’ve had my fun. Now, I’m ready to settle down.”

Simply put, if you see marriage as some sort of tremendous sacrifice, that’s a warning sign.
Healthy couples acknowledge that marriage brings new responsibilities — fidelity, consideration
of the other’s schedule and feelings, sharing yourself in new ways — but believe that the union is
a net plus in the fun and satisfaction department. If you don’t, you’re going to be resentful in a
matter of months. Human beings aren’t meant to live without large helpings of fun!
Day 28: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Future

God has a plan for you. Jeremiah 29:11 states, “For I know the plans I have for you," declares
the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God
already designed a master plan for your life and your future. He selected the man He wants you
to marry. He designated how many children He desires for you to deliver. He has already
identified what your future entails. Often, we try to make plans for our lives without consulting
with God. We waste so much time trying to figure these things out when all we have to do is
seek God for the answers. God wants to have a very intimate relationship with each and every
one of us in which we seek His counsel for guidance and advice regarding every area of our life.
We should not make any life decisions without praying first and waiting to hear God’s answer.
We want our husbands/future husbands to do the same. We want them to have a vision for our
future as a couple and as a family. We we want that vision to be 100% in alignment with the
vision God has for us. God has a plan for our husbands/future husbands and we want those plans
to be fulfilled.

Scriptures: Psalm 32:8, Psalm 37:3, Proverbs 24:13-14

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You with thanksgiving and praise. You are so awesome. Thank you for giving me the
wisdom to pray for my husband/future husband as I know these prayers will impact our lives
forever. Lord, you are smarter than I for You are All-Knowing. Lord, You know things about me
that I don’t even know about myself. You know the plans You have for my future and You know
my heart’s desires. Lord, I repent for every time I tried to make plans for my life without
consulting You. Today, I come seeking guidance and instruction for I only want to follow the
path You have already set for my life. Lord, help me to remember to pray and seek You
regarding any questions I may have concerning my future. Lord, I pray that my husband/future
husband will not try to plan his future out of his own power, his own intelligence or his own
desires. Instead, I pray he will desire the future You planned for him before he was even formed
in his mother’s womb. I pray He will seek You concerning any decision he makes that will affect
his life, our union and our family. Lord, I pray that he will have an open mind and a softened
heart to receive Your instruction. I come against spirits of resistance, disobedience, and rebellion
that would cause him to go in the wrong direction and defy You. I pray that every single thing
You have planned for his future will come to pass. In Jesus Name, Amen.

“Wife Life”: Advice For Wives and Future Wives:

Don’t make your husband earn your respect.  

Many women think, I’ll respect him when he earns it.  But there’s a reason that Ephesians 5:33
says, “Let the wife see that she respects her husband.”  As one friend said:“If women could learn
to understand that respect is a man's native tongue, that it absolutely heals his heart and ministers
to him like nothing else, it would make the biggest difference in the world.”
Day 29: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Self-Image

It is important that our husband/future husband sees himself the way that God sees him and is not
influenced by unrealistic societal expectations. Issues related self-image, body-image, self-
esteem and self-worth are often identified as a “feminine problem.” However, research over the
last 20 years indicates that this issue not only affects more men than you might think, but that
millennial men are particularly vulnerable to it. Over the past 20 years, studies have found that
dissatisfaction with body image can lead to psychological and behavioral problems, such as
depression, low self-esteem, use of performance-enhancing drugs, excessive exercising,
unhealthy sexual decisions, and eating disorders. This is why it is vital that we be sensitive to the
issues that affect men and pray for our husband/future husband’s self-image, self-worth and self-
esteem.

Scriptures: Psalm 139: 13-14; 1 Samuel 16:7

I praise You today for all that You have done for me and all that You have planned for me. I am
thankful that You are teaching me and preparing me to be the virtuous wife You desire for me to
be. Lord, I thank You for the man of God You selected for me and I pray that I will always love,
respect and honor him in a way that is pleasing to You. Lord, I lift my husband/ future husband
up to You and I thank You for his life. Lord, I pray that he will understand how valuable he is to
You and  he will see himself the way You see him. I pray that he will see himself as the head and
not the tail. I pray that he will not look to the media or society to define himself but instead, he
will look to Your Word. Lord, help me to speak words that will build him up and not tear him
down. I come against insecurities, low self-esteem and low self-worth that would lead to
depression, eating disorders, drug use, alcohol use, psychological and behavioral problems or
unhealthy sexual decisions. I plead the blood of Jesus over my husband/future husband’s mind
and I declare that his thoughts will be in alignment with Your thoughts. Lord, I pray that my
husband will not measure his self-worth by his outward appearance, is financial status or his
educational status. Instead, I pray he will seek You for approval and find is worth in his
relationship with You. I thank You for showing my husband/future husband how much You love
and value him. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Day 30: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Prayer Life

Time has flown by and this challenge has personally left an unforgettable mark on my life! I’m
sure we have heard, at least once, how “prayer is powerful.” Well, especially after this challenge,
how many of us can now agree with that statement? While praying for your husband/future
husband, how many have noticed when you pray from your heart how God starts to do a change
in you and rearrange things in your own personal life? All this happens from sincerely praying
for someone else!

Prayer has the ability to shift things into existence that wasn’t there before. Prayer is simply a
communion with God that can bring light into dark places, prepare you for things to come, and
even change the course of your life in its entirety. Where there were situations that left you
completely hopeless or weak, through prayer you are able to go into a private space where you
can tap into hope and strength that you didn’t have before. Every bit counts. Maybe you were
like so many others, including myself, who didn’t have a regular prayer life or didn’t really have
confidence in your prayers or the faith they would be heard. I hope by now, that reality is of your
past and now you are able to attest to how God can move through prayer! And remember SIS, it
may be the members of SIS who physically posts these daily blogs and prayers but it is solely the
power of God and your heart and belief that can and will cause these prayers to be answered in
your own personal lives. Our hearts combined with God’s will possess the True Power of
Change. So let’s get to praying for our husband/future husband’s prayer life, for his relationship
with Christ, his position as a leader, husband, father and as a man of purpose

Scriptures: 1 Chronicles 16:11, Psalm 145:18, Philippians 4:6

Dear Father,

As I breathe deeply, I open my heart up to You, right now. You are such an Almighty God. I am
thankful to have prayer as a safe zone for me to come as I am and I thank You for yet another
opportunity to push into Your presence. You are a God with so much relevance so I thank You
for always taking the time to listen to my prayers even when I feel I am lost. So right now, I want
to intercede for my husband/future husband’s prayer life. If prayer is not a part of my
husband’s/future husband’s daily regime, I declare a shift in his atmosphere right now. Lord,
renew his mind so he is able to see the importance of daily prayer. Let him see it as a spiritual
communion with You. Let him see it as a vital practice for “renewal” and “power” instead of a
mundane ritual with no hope. When he comes to you Father, I declare that his heart is open to
Yours at all times. I declare, as in James 4:3, my husband will not pray to you with wrong
motives and urges of selfish gains. Instead I decree that he will come to You with a moldable
spirit, allowing You to transform his thoughts and ultimately his actions. I bind any and all spirits
of the flesh that will discourage him from praying to You and spirits that will cause him to pray
with a closed mind, heart, or spirit. Even during the worst of times (naturally and emotionally), I
decree my husband will always seek You spiritually with a heart of forgiveness, thanksgiving,
and faith. I pray Father, that despite his position as the leader of our household, he will be
anxious for nothing but pray to You regarding everything, especially those things concerning his
role as my husband, fatherhood and his ultimate purpose in Your Kingdom. I also pray that as
You elevate our family to new heights in You that You also elevate and deepen his prayer life
with each step forward. With these things I ask You to strengthen me in these same areas Lord.
As the chief intercessor of my household, guide my heart and renew my spirit when it comes to
my daily communion with You. Even when I do not see the results right away, let me have full
confidence and Faith that You have Your hand on those very situations concerning me and that
You will give me the endurance to pray without ceasing for those things concerning our family.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen!

Day 31: "Pray Like A Wife".............. For His Relationship


With You

Can you believe we have made it to the end?? My how time flies when we are having fun! Now
over the last 31 days we have prayed for a variety of areas in our husband’s/future husband’s
lives. Today let’s finish strong and focus on an area that many people neglect to cover and that is
his relationship with you.

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone but they are not there with you mentally,
emotionally, or sometimes they left physically but you hadn’t quite figured that out yet (lol)?
Many people today are finding themselves in dead and dull relationships that lack excitement,
love, and true companionship for various reasons.  Many of us desire for our husbands to have
the love that Jacob had for Rachel but walk around most days feeling like Leah, the one he
married but not really the one he wants.  Bishop J.W. Walker III uses the acronym H-A-L-T
(Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) in his book, Love &Intimacy, Five Ways to Get Together and
Stay Together, to warn readers that when this is the story of your relationship the enemy uses this
as a foothold to seduce you toward demonic purposes.

This is why many people begin to look outside of their marriage for fulfillment and that in return
gives way to adultery, ungodly habits, or ungodly soul ties that wreak havoc in their
relationships. Let me just say right now if you are in a relationship with someone who is married,
that is NOT God’s will for your life! No matter how we try to justify it, see it, or explain it, being
with someone else’s spouse is WRONG and needs to end IMMEDIATELY.  God didn’t make
you to be the side dish or the other person waiting till he/she finds the “right time to end things”.
God has so much more for you so don’t limit yourself to someone else’s spouse.  I don’t care
what he or she says the word says God has PREPARED things for them that love Him not
SHARED….big difference!  When you let go of YOUR SHARED things THEN God can bless
you with HIS PREPARED things.  Soap operas and new hit shows like Scandal, Being Marry
Jane, The Have and the Have Nots, just to name a few have all captured audiences with their
juicy plots of adultery and suspense but be mindful not to allow this to desensitize you of the
truth. Godly marriages that honor God and the purpose He has for the institution of marriage are
still possible today and are still His will for our lives.

So what do we do then in these situations? Bishop Walker gives us 8 principles to balance our
relationships:

1.       Appreciate your spouse’s qualities

2.       Don’t compare

3.       Honor one another

4.       Be loyal

5.       Cherish the intimacy in your marriage

6.       Be spiritually attentive to one another

7.       Learn how to reconnect

8.       Make happy memories-have fun with your spouse

So today let’s pray for his relationship with you that you both would be able to fight through the
hard times and walk together in love by acting out these 8 principles in your lives. If you want to
read more about these principals I encourage you and your husband/future husband to get Bishop
Walker’s book! It’s a great read with practical Godly principles that will bless your life. Be
blessed and keep praying!
