Prayer 10

HIS CHOICES

Lord, fill my husband with the fear of the Lord and give him wisdom for every decision he makes. May he reverence You and Your ways and seek to know Your truth. Give him discernment to make decisions base don Your revelation. Help him to make godly choices and keep him from doing anything foolish. Take foolishness out of his heart and enable him to quickly recognize error and avoid it. Open his eyes to clearly see the consequences of any anticipated behavior.
I pray that he will listen to godly counselors and not be a man who is unteachable. Give him strength to reject the counsel of the ungodly and hear Your counsel above all others. I declare that although there are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless the Lord's counsel will stand (Psalm 19:21). Instruct him even as he is sleeping (Psalm 16:7), and in the morning, I pray he will do what's right rather than following the leading of his own flesh. I know the wisdom of this world if foolishness with You, Lord (1 Cor 3:19). May he not buy into it, but keep his eyes on You and have ears to hear Your voice.

All of these prayers are so good...and as i get further along in this book, I think each prayer is better than the last. This one is definitely the prayer i want to write out and post on my mirror to pray every morning as I wake up, and to pray as I lay my head down on the pillow. This prayer, affects all others. It affects the choices he makes, which are so important. I too, pray these things for myself!
God, give me and my husband wisdom. May we do the right and wise thing for our marriage, family, and children!
I love my husband!!
