Lord, I life my husband to You today and pray, according to Your Word, that:

>You give him strength to lead (Joshua1:7), time to know his family (John 10:14) and a passion to manage his home (I Timothy 3:4).

>You bless his work and show him daily how to honor You in his attitude and spirit; confirm the work of his hands unto Your purpose (Psalm 90:16-17; Daniel 6).

>He will be a wise steward of our finances and all we possess, remembering that all things are Yours and entrusted to us for Your purposes (Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 16:10-13).

>He will love You with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength and hate evil (Mark 12:30; Psalm 97:10).

>He will be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger (James 1:19).

>You protect him physically, mentally and spiritually (Psalm 28:7-9; Psalm 41; John 17:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:3).

>You give him the desire to teach and model a godly lifestyle for his children (Deuteronomy 6; Psalm 78:5-7).

>You will instruct him and teach him in the way he should go (Psalm 32:8); give him peace in the circumstances and integrity in decisions he must face today (I Corinthians 14:33; Proverbs 11:3).

>He would meditate day and night on Your Word, pray without ceasing (Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 119:18, 73; I Thessalonians 5:17), and stay faithful to Christ to the end (Hebrews 12:1-2).

>He would develop strong relationships with other godly men (Ephesians 4:24-25; Hebrews 10 :24).
