Lifted And Built Up - Prayers for My Wife

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Ephesians 4:29, ESV)

TALK TO GOD

Lord, I ask today that my wife’s words be honey to the ears of those she speaks to. Let her words reflect You and Your love. Let them lift people’s hearts and build them up. Give her wisdom to consider the things she says and to reflect upon whether they exude Your love, grace, and hope. Let her draw her words from the depths of Your promises. May her communication bring life to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REFLECT

• Do your words build up or tear down?

TAKE ACTION

• Use your words to build your wife up. Write down your favorite things about her on slips of paper and hide them in places she will find (by her nightstand, a drawer in her bathroom, her car, etc.).
