Prayer For A Man In My Life

Lord,

Thank You for being the Creator of the universe, King of kings, Lord of lords, Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, the only Sovereign One, the Great I AM and the Author of life. I praise You for Your great and unsearchable wisdom and for Your design for marriage and families. I thank and praise You for creating marriage to be a living parable of the very great mystery of the relationship between Christ and His church.

Forgive me for my sins. Cleanse me of every trace of pride, resentment, bitterness, anger, jealousy, rebellion against you, disrespect for you or my husband and for thinking I know best. Forgive me for trying to take control over things that belong to You alone and for trying to control my husband. Help me release my grip on him so that he can serve You in freedom that I might not disrupt the communication between You and my husband. Show me any sin I am cherishing in my heart that grieves Your Spirit. Show me where I am filled with fear and not trusting You. Help me to see that You are more than big enough to handle my deepest fears and that I can trust You and not be afraid. Help me to find my trust muscles and to yield everything in my life to You. I surrender my will. I have died to sin. You crucified my sinful nature. Let me live for You giving up my desires, my will, my plans and my wisdom to embrace Your desires, Your will, Your plans and Your wisdom. The things I was holding onto were trash. Help me to see that any sacrifices I make for You will be turned to pure joy and I really am not sacrificing anything of worth to do things Your way. Help me to remember that the cost of disobedience is always greater than the cost of obedience. Give me a willing heart to hear and follow Your voice! I give myself fully to You. I am completely available to You to use in any way You desire.

Let me be a godly wife and mother by Your standards, Your definition and Your power. I don't have the strength to be a godly woman on my own. I am weak, but You are so strong. I invite Your Spirit to completely fill and overtake me, empowering me to be a godly woman who has great beauty in Your sight that gentle and peaceful spirit that does not give way to fear. Let me put all my trust in You not myself, not my wisdom, not my husband, not marriage, not my job, not my abilities, not money or the government. Open my eyes to any idols that I am worshipping and serving and sacrificing to instead of You and let me tear them all out by the root and only put all my faith and trust in You alone! I need to decrease that You might increase. Your wisdom is so much higher than mine! I reject my own wisdom and what seems right in my eyes and I embrace Your wisdom, Your Word and Your will for my life. Let me hunger and thirst for Your Word. Let me seek You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. Let me love You with all that I am. I hold nothing back from You. I trust You with all things. And I know that You will work all things for my good because I love You and am called according to Your purpose. So I have no reason to fear! I can't lose! No matter what happens, You will cause it to be a blessing and bring good to me and glory to Your Name. So I can rest in Your love and trust You without any fear. Empower me to give my husband respect in ways that touch the deepest parts of his masculine soul. Teach me to stand behind his leadership in our marriage he is the God-given spiritual authority in our family, not me. Help me to be a godly follower. Give me strength and wisdom to resist should he ask me to sin or go against Your Word. But give me the grace, wisdom, courage and power to put my faith in him knowing my faith is really in You to lead him so that he might see I trust him and I trust You.

I lift up my precious husband to Your throne room in heaven. Thank You for his leadership. Thank You for giving him to me to protect, teach and guide me. Thank You for him carrying that heavy weight that is too much for me. I trust You to give him Your wisdom to take me and our family where You desire us to go. I don't know the way but You do. And I trust that You are powerful enough to lead me through my imperfect husband. Thank You that You are strong enough and powerful enough to use even his mistakes and sins for Your glory and my good so I have no reason to fear. I know You will work things out for the best for my family, even if we suffer along the way. I will trust You even in the painful times. I seek Your glory more than my comfort. I pray that You might draw my husband close to You. I pray that You might allow him to be a man after Your own heart. Convict him of every sin and anything that offends You. Let him have Your priorities and be filled to overflowing with Your Spirit of power, love and self-discipline. Let the fruit of Your Spirit be very evident in his life and our marriage daily. Use him in whatever way seems best to You to bring the greatest possible glory and honor to Christ. Let him daily take up the full armor of God. Let him be mature and complete, lacking nothing, because of Your Spirit at work in his life. Let him wisely handle the Word of God. Use him to combat Satan in Your name protecting our family from evil, temptation and harm. Let him be alert and well-prepared, able to provide for us, protect us and lead us in Your narrow path that leads to life. Use him to bring many to Your kingdom.

Thank you for my husband's strengths! He is such a precious gift to me. Thank You for opening my eyes to the treasure he is and for healing our marriage!

Use my husband and me to be a godly example of faith and marriage to our children. Let us represent Christ and His church well by Your Spirit at work in us. Let them see that we are united and nothing can divide us. Let them see a beautiful example in us that they will always carry with them in their hearts and that they can use as a template to build their own healthy, godly marriages and families upon one day.

Keep us all from temptation and evil. Thank You that You are not done with any of us, but that You are making us more and more set apart for Your use. Make us holy as You are holy. Let us be one with You. Let us be one with each other. Let our marriage draw many people to Christ and honor You in every possible way!

In the Name and power of Christ,

Amen!

Dear God,

I haven't been the best follower lately. My problem may seem strange to others, but you know the pain that I am going through.

Please help me win the heart of the man you have let enter into my life. I have been a manipulative and controlling woman. I have done everything wrong. He has no affection left for me because of my actions. I will seek help this time and be better, but nothing can happen if he doesn't believe me.

Please give me the power to be a better person and him the room in his heart to forgive me and trust me again.

Thank you God,

My Father who is in heaven, Lord I honor you and bless your Holy name. I thank you for your goodness, your steadfast love and faithfulness, and for your mighty power! Lord, I thank you for keeping your hand over my life, as well as over the lives of those I love.

Lord, I lift up the men that you have placed in connection to me. I thank you for these men. I thank you for the roles that they play in my life, and in the lives of those around them. Father, these men are wonderful in your sight. You have called them for such a time as this. The destiny and influence on their lives are so important to the Kingdom agenda on this earth! Lord, because of their importance and their relevance, I come before you requesting that you would bless them and breathe courage over them.

Father, according to your word in Genesis 12, you made a promise to Abraham that you would bless him and his descendants. You told him that you would make him a great nation! Lord, through Christ Jesus we have entered into, and are now part of, the covenant that you made with Abraham. Lord, you promised Abraham that you would bless him and that you would cause him to be a blessing to others. So, right now, I declare this same blessing over the men in my life. Lord, cause them to be both blessed, and a blessing to others! Meet their needs as they continue to meet the needs of those around them.Lord, I speak the blessing of Deuteronomy 28 over these men's lives. I ask that you would cause a hunger and a thirst within their hearts to please you and to faithfully obey you so that they can walk fully in the blessings you have for them. Lord, as they walk in obedience to you, bless them in the city and in the country. Bless their children, the work of their hands and all that they produce. Bless their food. Bless them as they come in, and as they go out. Father, cause all of these blessings to chase them down and overtake them. Overwhelm these men with your goodness, God, so that your glory may be evident in their lives.

God, I also pray for these men to have courage in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, reveal yourself to them in such a way that they would know in their hearts that they do not carry a spirit of fear, but rather a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. Ignite courage inside of them, so much so that they would swell with confidence in you. Not in themselves, Lord, but in you the God who made them, walks with them, and lives inside of them. "I pray that they would know and be reassured that they have you, the God of angel's armies, fighting on their side..."
Just as you told Jacob to be strong and very courageous, I pray that these men would be strong and very courageous! There is so much that you want to give your sons, Father. I ask that you would cause a boldness to rise up in them that would empower them to go and take possession of everything that you have set apart just for them. Lord, give them the tenacity to keep pursuing that which you have said is already theirs. I know that there will be enemies who oppose them while they attempt to do this. I pray that they would know and be reassured that they have you, the God of angel's armies, fighting on their side, and that the victory is already theirs.

Lord, I worship you and I give you all the glory for blessing these men in my life and for giving them courage. I love you and honor you, and I seal this prayer with the blood of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Thank you God,
Your loyal follower

Dear Lord, I pray that you give my darling the courage to grow in character and deal with untoward habits and actions from the past. Father, give him the doggedness to leave the scars of the past behind where they belong and focus on the future which you have in mind for him. Lord, take his mind off the failures and disappoints of the past years and let him be able to direct his strength at preparing a better and much brighter future where he can be someone whom him and everyone around him can be proud of. Let him always be assured of a glorious and purposeful future in You Lord.

Dear Lord, I pray deeply that you grant my man an excellent spirit of leadership. Let him continue to excel in the wisdom to lead his life and those around him. Help him build a singleness of character and help him maintain focus oh Lord. Empower him in the skills of divine leadership and help lead a selfless life of service towards You Lord and his fellow man. Let him excel in humility and lowliness of heart and give him the discipline, grace and strength to foster godly relationships in the home, community and in the house of the Lord.
