Pray For Our Husbands

Day 1

Pray that your husband will grow spiritually and consider his accountability before the Lord. Pray that he will guard his heart by developing spiritual disciplines—Bible reading and study, prayer, meditation, scripture memorization, etc. (2 Peter 3:18; Prov. 4:23)

2 Peter 3:18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Prov. 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life

So I'm joining Sandra over at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom to pray for our husbands. I know I don't talk about religion or my beliefs or blog about it, but I don't want to ever feel that I wear my religion or my convictions on my sleeve. They are a very prudent aspect of my life and I do not taking it lightly. Therefore, I am taking a 31 day pledge to pray for the husband that I love. To pray for the man who has been my best friend since we were 13 years old. To pray for the man that is my soulmate. To pray for the man that makes me laugh every single day. And to pray for the man that provides for us and works hard at his career so that I can stay home with the boys. I am looking forward to this and I hope if anyone reading this feels the same, you too will join in and pray for our husbands.

Brent used to work where every day I felt like when he came home it was a blessing. Now, I guess over time and with his promotions I've become more complacent about his safety. However, I shouldn't do that. Every day just going to work, either on his motorcycle or in his truck, I say a quick prayer to myself that he stays safe and makes it back home. He knows that I don't talk to him about this very often because it is such a deep subject for me that most of the time I cannot think about his safety without crying. He means that much to me. That everyday he comes home in one piece should be a blessing and I have really been taking him for granted. Two men from his work almost lost their lives several months ago and are just now getting their lives back to normal. So as I pray this month, I will not only pray for my husband, but for all the husbands who go to work with him each day to provide for their families and, at the end of the day, just want to get back home safely to see them.

So thanks to Sandra at Diary of a SAHM for starting this prayer journey and I hope others follow.
