A Prayer for our Husbands!

Father God, You tell us in Scripture that Your will for us is to pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and I am sorry for the times when I fall so short from that standard. Please infuse me with Your Spirit and help me become a wife of prayer. Help me be more diligent about fasting from food and, like Jesus, willing to miss sleep in order to spend more time with You (Luke 6:12). May I be quick to encourage my husband to always pray and not give up (Luke 18:1). Give me the boldness to pray with my husband no matter what the subject matter and help praying together become natural,comfortable, genuine, and a daily activity in our marriage. Lord, I also pray that my husband would be a man of prayer. May he look to You and continually seek Your face (1 Chronicles 16:11). May he devote himself to prayer and always be eager to life his soul up to You (Colossians 4:2, Psalm 25:1). I ask that You would help him develop such a thriving prayer life that prayer is his first response in everything rather than a last resort. Teach him to pray in the Spirit on all occasions (Ephesians 6:18) knowing that he can always approach Your throne pf grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). Thank You for hearing my prayers and desiring fellowship with me. I love You, Lord, and pray for all of this in Your Son's Name. Amen.
