No Fear Today - Prayers for My Wife

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9, ESV)

TALK TO GOD

Lord, today my wife faces some strong obstacles and challenges. Remind her that she can be strong, brave, and do all things with You. Help her create boundaries where they are needed. Help her stand strong in the trials she faces. Help her to not carry the weight of those challenges inside her own body. I ask that You keep anxiety, depression, and worry away from her. Let her stand strong in Your peace because she knows You are with her. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REFLECT

• Think about what your wife is navigating today. What does she need? This will likely be different than what you need. (If she isn’t asking for a solution, just listen with empathy and validation.)

TAKE ACTION

• Ask your wife to walk with you or sit with you and share her heart with you. Be sure to reflect back to her what she is communicating and to validate and empathize. If she is open to it, offer to pray for her. Simply voice to God what she has just said to you. You don’t need to use fancy words; just have a simple conversation with God.
