A Priceless Valentine...

Its almost Valentine's Day, and I thought nothing would be more fitting, than a gift so unique to give the Love of your Life, a gift that only you can give him. If someone else gave him this gift, it would not be as effectual. Others may try, but it's uniqueness can only come from you...." What is this gift you ask? Where can I get it, and how much will it cost?"  Well, you wont find it in a store, you can not purchase it, and you cant even wrap it..... It's Your Prayer

I came across this list of verses to Pray For Your Husband, on Pinterest. No, this is not my original work, but I found it so awesome that I wanted to elaborate on it. So there are six verses and areas of prayer. I will be blogging in a series over the next few weeks.. I hope you will join me for each one..

Did you ever go to pray and you find your self praying the same old prayer for your husband? You know the one..." God keep my husband, give him strength and wisdom to guide his family, help him find favor on his job"..... This is a great prayer, don't get me wrong. Those are things we should be praying about, but, maybe there are other issues that your husband needs you to take before God.. What about when your husband is overwhelmed? Yes, our husbands become overwhelmed. They may not show it or tell us, but they do.. Think about it..they have a ton of responsibilities that we don't have to worry about.

This world has become so stressful and negative. In years past, a man could go to ONE job, and support his family. Now days, 65% of men, at some point have to work a second job. Our husbands worry if they will make enough to make ends meet. It seems when trouble comes, its never one issue at a time, it is always a whole herd of issues...money, stress on the job, family matters, his relationship with his children, his relationship with you... the list goes on and on... Let's face it ladies, our husbands need our prayers...

We need to pray for our husbands when they are feeling overwhelmed.. Psalms 27:1 says, The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Pray this scripture for your husband, pray that when the world around him is overwhelming, and too stressful, that God will be his light, that God will save him from drowning.. pray that strength and confidence will come to him, that he can  lift up his eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh his help.

Ladies, God didn't create us to be confined to the traditional role of wife, he created us to be a help to our husbands in all ways. So besides, keeping his world spinning... we need to be in prayer for him. I have said it before and hold on, cause I am gonna say it again.. There is power is being submitted to your husband, it is not a shackle, its freedom! Freedom in worship, praise, prayer.. when we are submitted as God defines, we have power in the Spirit. Power to become prayer warriors, to intercede, to see things changed in Jesus Name!

So where is the Valentine Romance??? What could be more romantic than knowing your husbands name has reached Heaven? What is more romantic than knowing, at the whisper of your prayer, angels will be dispatched to your husband day or night???

 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Psalm 91:4 

God Bless you,
