A Prayer: Asking that our Husbands will Respond to the Lord

Oh Jesus, thank You for the promise that You have summoned each  of us by name (Isaiah 43:1).  I pray that my husband would have ears to hear You (Matthew 11:15).  Lord, You repeatedly called for Samuel (1 Samuel 3) and  I pray that, likewise, You would actively pursue my husband until he recognizes and responds to Your voice. But my prayer doesn't stop there, Lord. I beg that even after my husband accepts You as his Savior, that he would continue to listen intently for Your voice. May he live such a quiet life that Your voice does not compete with anything...  may it never be lost, muted, interrupted, or forgotten. As Your Spirit guides him, grant him the desire and discipline to always respond quickly to You with "Here I am, Lord, speak for Your servant is listening." (Isaiah 6:8, 1 Samuel 3:10). I ask all these things in Your name. Amen

 (The prayer above was taken from For the Love of Our Children and adapted to be made applicable for our husbands).
