Day 26

PRAYER for a GODLY HUSBAND

Holy Father, You said that woman was made from the rib which was taken from man. Therefore I come to You now, asking for the man whom I was created for – a true steward of God. He shall leave his father and his mother and cleave unto me, and I will be his help meet. I thank You for a husband who will love me even as Christ also loved the church, and we shall be heirs together of the grace of life according to Your Word. O Lord my God, You said that the man is the image and glory of God. Therefore I come to You now, praising You for a husband who will nourish and cherish me and not be bitter against me. He will be blameless, vigilant, sober and apt to teach. He will be patient, respectful, of good behaviour, and will hold the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. He will be a just, holy, temperate man - holding fast the faithful Word as he has been taught. I thank You for a husband who is not covetous, self-willed, easily angered or lifted up with pride. And because he rules well his own house, our children and I will be in subjection to him according to Your Word. Abba, Father, You said that the head of every man is Christ and he who walks in uprightness fears the Lord. Therefore I come to You now, thanking You for a husband who will give honour unto me, as unto the weaker vessel, so that his prayers will not be hindered. My husband is blessed; therefore he does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. His delight is in the law of the Lord; and in that law, he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he does shall prosper. I thank You for a trustworthy husband who will please me and render due benevolence unto me according to Your Word. God Most High, You said that a wife should not depart from her husband and a husband should not put away his wife. Therefore I come to You now, vowing that when my husband is bound unto me, he will not seek to be loosed. I will hold my beloved, whom my soul loves, and I will not let him go. According to Your Word, I decree and declare that whom God has joined together, no man shall put asunder. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Day 25

June 14

Today is a sad day….it started out so good and joyful and then ended up being washed in so much hurt. People judge and say hurtful things about one another. They do not stop and think how much it will hurt if they found out. Talking softly behind people’s backs and if exposed we feel guilty. Maybe we should look at ourselves first before we look at other people and let the guilt set in before we say something that would hurt.

We are all just searching for the same things, we all trying to survive day to day. We want to be loved and cherished by someone and be accepted. So if we all want the same thing why are we judging other people so harshly? Is it some kind of remedy, to make ourselves feel better about our own life? Do I feel more in control and elevated when I see other people doing the wrong thing? NEWSFLASH – Not one person on earth is in control of his own life, we all make mistakes, we all have a past , we all mess up somewhere along the line. Throwing daggers at each others ugly pasts is causing more injury. I have judged people; I have looked at other people’s relationships and judged them. I have even looked at other people bringing up their kids differently and even had a thing or two to say about that but today I realise how harsh it can be, how hurtful, so why judge if I can rather say something nice or be supportive and understanding.

The Lord says do not steal; do not steal someone’s joy by judging. Do not play God BY judging. I am guilty of this sin…..and if someone said something about you today, just know like a beautiful friend of mine said “What people say about you is not your business” Keep your head high, God loves you and excepts you warts and all!!!!!

If I offended anyone out there today I say please forgive me. Lord I pray that you will help me not to judge others because I have felt the hurt that it causes. You are the only judge and who am I to form an opinion of your beautiful people. You love me as much as you do them and I see that now.

Amen
