Trusting God - Prayers for My Husband

“‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the LORD. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’” (Isaiah 55:8-9, NIV)

TALK TO GOD

Lord, we like things to make sense and to be logical. However, sometimes Your ways just don’t fit into that neat and tidy box. I’m asking that my husband begins to understand this. When he’s going through a crisis of belief, help him to trust You and Your ways. Sometimes he’ll need to set aside his logic and stand strong in his faith. When fear starts creeping in, give him the courage to choose faith over fear. And when he wants to question You, let him wave that white flag of surrender in his heart, saying, “I might not get it, God, but I trust You.” I’m praying he’ll give up his own will and logic and put his faith in Your leadership. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

THINK

• How compassionate are you with your husband? Do you have compassion for the things he doesn’t yet understand? Are you patient with him, knowing that he is still growing?

TAKE ACTION

• The next time you’re sitting near your husband—in the car, at church, on the couch—reach out and hold his hand.
