A Prayer for Husbands
Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray and believe that ________________________ walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly following their advice, plans, and purposes, nor does he stand submissive and inactive in the path where sinners walk, nor does he sit down to relax and rest where the scornful and themockers gather. _____________________'s delight and desire is in Your Word; and on Your percepts, instructions, and teachings he habitually mediates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. Because he puts Your Word first place in his life, he is like a tree firmly planted and tended by the streams of water, ready to bring forth his fruit in its season; his leaf also does not fade or wither, and everything he does, including our life together, prospers and comes to maturity.
I thank You, Father, that ___________________ loves me and that hi is affectionate and sympathetic with me. I believe in Jesus' name that he is not harsh or bitter or resentful toward me, because he loves me, in a sense, as his own body.
I praise You that our fountain of human life is blessed with the rewards of fidelity, and he rejoices with me. I am as the loving hind and pleasant doe (tender, gentle, attractive); my bosom satisfies ______________ at all times and he is always transported with delight in my life. I rejoice, Father, that because Your Word is working in our marriage, _____________________ will never be infatuated with a loose woman, embrace the bosom of an outsider, or go astray. So be it!
Scripture References (Amplified Bible); Psalms 1:1 - 3; Colossians 3:18, 19; Ephesians 5:28; Proverbs 5:15 - 20.
If your husband is alread involved with another woman, you can pay Proverbs 2:16, that discretion watches over him and understanding keeps him, to deliver him from the alien woman, from the outsider with her flattering words.
