Abigail - Her Legacy Of Prayer

David said to Abigail, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands.”

PRAISE GOD:	For calling you to be a peacemaker in your family, neighborhood, and world.
OFFER THANKS:	That God knows every challenge facing your marriage.
CONFESS:	Any bitterness you may have harbored about your marriage.
ASK GOD:	To use your relationship with your husband to strengthen your character and increase your faith.

Lift Your Heart

If you haven’t yet made a commitment to pray daily for your husband, do so today. Set aside a few minutes to surrender your marriage to God, specifically asking him to bless your spouse. Try to refrain from focusing on your laundry list of complaints and instead pray for the needs you know your husband has. Ask God to shape your marriage relationship and use it for his purposes. Relinquish any desire you may have to control your husband; instead, ask God to work in his life.

Father, I ask you to bless my husband in every facet of his life —

his health

his work

his relationship with our children

our relationship together

and his relationship to you.

Let nothing and no one, including myself, hinder your work in his life.
