Today’s Prayer Focus: Leader of the Home

Today’s Scripture Focus: Ephesians 5:23

First, I pray for YOU. This is a time for us to not only lift our husbands, or future husbands, up in prayer, but a time for us to grow in our own relationships with God. Y’all, I pray that you feel God’s Presence in your life. I pray that you grow closer to Him. This month of prayers does not guarantee change, but I pray that your hearts will become more like His, that you will have a love for your husband like the church should for Christ. I pray that you make the time everyday to spend with God praying over your husband. If you don’t have time to watch the video, that’s okay, I’ll provide you with the focus topic and scripture reference each day. I’m not doing this to receive praise of any kind. I’m doing this because God laid it on my heart to help lead fellow wives to lift up their husbands. God gets all of the glory. Praying over our men is something we don’t do nearly enough. We’re their helpmates – what better service could we do for them than to cover them in prayer and lift them up to our Heavenly Father?! I love you all and I’m here if you need me!

Let’s pray! Thank you, Lord, for the gift of marriage and the beautiful institution that it is designed to be. Help my husband to continue to grow in You, mold him daily into the leader of our home that you created him for. Father, today I lift my husband to you, as leader of our home, grant him wisdom and direction. Give him confidence and strength, that he may grow in faithfulness to you. Let my husband hear You today, encourage him, Father. Bring other men, fellow believers in Christ, alongside him to help hold him accountable and to lift him up; other men that will help him become a better man. Let him be an example to others, and others to him, on leading godly families. I pray my husband is filled with gentleness, compassion, love, respect and wisdom. Equip him to lead our family with wisdom and discernment from You, with a confidence fueled by the Holy Spirit. I pray, Lord, that he will lead me and cherish me as Christ does the church. I pray that my husband grasps the responsibility granted to him through You in leading our family. Lord, help him to embrace his purpose and to seek you diligently. I pray he submits to you, humbly as your servant, eager and willing to do your will. Father, lead him as he leads our family in your will. In Jesus’s sweet and precious name, Amen.

Seek: A Pursuit Community Devotional – Day 21

February 21, 2015February 23, 2015 ashwallace

I am humbled to even have the opportunity to share this with you, yes – YOU. I had the opportunity to contribute to the first ever collaborative Pursuit Community Devotional, and what an honor it is to share pages with these women of God.

Be still before the Lord & wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7

Last night our family received some exciting news, I can’t share it with you yet – but God used this devotion this morning to remind me how rewarding it is to just wait on His timing.

God never ceases to amaze me. I just knew after writing this, and submitting it, and then seeing it for the first time in print – that my message in sharing it with you would still be about the waiting period we are in. Sweet sister, or brother, in Christ – let me tell you – His timing is perfect.

I know now that our time of rest is coming to an end, God is about to send us spiraling into a full blown busy season – all in His own timing. Letting Him lead us is the best feeling in the world – granted, it isn’t always easy. It is hard to relinquish control and to not know where you’re headed next or what you’re supposed to be doing. I want to encourage you to take time to rest in Him. Spend time in God’s word – seek after a heart like His.

I pray that as you’re ending this 21 days of fasting and praying that you feel rejuvenated. You still may not have the answers you are looking for, but please take comfort in knowing that God will reveal them to you in His perfect timing.

Please visit Pursuit Community & get your free copy of the Seek Devotional online. Follow Pursuit Community on instagram.
[ #pursuitcommunity #seekdevotional ] We will be going through this devotional again during the month of September – you can order a hard copy (or paperback) here. I am already looking forward to going through it again!
