Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
—3 John 2
The apostle John is teaching us to pray for one another. Doesn't that mean we should also pray for our wives?
Paul tells us that, as husbands, we are to love our wives as Jesus loved His church. We often relate that to how Jesus died for the church. But He did a lot more than that. He also lived for the church. Everything He did was for us. Can we say that about our own marriages yet?
Another thing He did was to pray for His church. He prayed for it before it even existed. He prayed to His Father that the church would have the power it needed to be witnesses and overcome anything in its path.
So we, too, should pray for our wives. Pray for her to have the power and strength she needs to be the woman of God He wants her to be; to overcome anything in her path; to deal with anything she faces; and to have the grace to live with you and your faults. Make today a day of prayer for her. And don't let it end today. Become the priest of your home lke you're supposed to be.
TODAY’S DARE
Begin praying today for your wife’s heart, her spirit. Pray for three specific areas where you desire for God to work in her life and in your marriage.
And let her know you are praying for her today. Whisper it, text it, several times today. But make sure she knows the priest of her home is praying for her!
