Pray for your Spouse Part 2

Here are 10 things to pray for concerning you and your spouse.

  1. Thank God for your spouse- gratitude will strengthen your marriage.
  2. Pray for yourself- ask for forgiveness where you have failed and strength for each day
  3. Pray for safety- ask God to put a hedge of protection around your spouse (Job 1:10)
  4. Health- pray God's healing when they are sick, and that he would prevent difficult diseases.
  5. Work- pray that God would use your spouse at work. Pray they would be successful at what they do.
  6. Stress- Life is full of stress. Your spouse may be under stress that you know nothing about. Pray God would take care of their stress.
  7. Fears- Know your spouses fears. (IE. finances, safety, failures, death and commit to pray for them).
  8. Pray for their dreams and goals-Proverbs 29:18 says without purpose life is not worth living. Know your spouses dreams and goals and pray that all of them would happen. Do everything in your power to make them happen.
  9. Pray they would grow in their faith
  10. Pray that God would deliver them from temptation- we all face temptation every day we live. Satan wants nothing more to destroy our homes and will do everything in his power to do so. We must do what Col. 4:2 says "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

If we will pray theses things for our spouses I believe God will absolutely rock our marriages for His glory.
