Recently, I had this thought on my heart. How much time do I really allocate to pray for my wife? In my last post, I talked about how to take a deeper look inside of ourselves and find what is it that we need to change in us in order to become the person that pleases God and your partner. Here, I have to confess that I failed to continue on with my prayers to my partner. Yes, we pray together every night, but the question here, how much you spend on your own putting your partner in front of God asking Him to bless, heal and give wisdom to your partner.
Remember, The prayer purpose isn't asking God to change your partner. It isn't for the purpose of complaining about your partner and every thing that he or she does wrong. Instead it is the time that you lift your partner to God's hand and ask Him to work on him or her without any bitterness and emotions of complaining.
For example, If it is your wife, pray that God uses her up to her capability to be the wife, and the mother that pleases God. If it is your husband, pray that God uses him to lead the family to the right path that God allows to you.
Here is a few things that we all need to remember as we pray for our families and partners.
Here is a few things that we all need to remember as we pray for our families and partners.- Know for fact that God loves them as it is and that you aren't praying for them to show you are better than them.
- Praying with faith, know that God is Good and capable.
- Pray with patience and persistence, make it also a priority.
- Pray with a humble, repentant heart, acknowledge your own faults as you pray.
The greatest encouragement I can offer you about praying for your family is to ask God to search your heart and show you anything that needs removing from your life. The release of God’s Spirit upon their lives begins in your heart and soul. Find a time and place to meet with God. Get to know Him as “our Father.” See how mighty He is in heaven.
Don't forget to pray that you be the positive influence person in your partner life and that God uses you to implement God's plan in your family and into your partner life.
