I was asked by a friend recently how I pray for my wife. He said that he struggles with what or how to pray for his wife. Well the first thing I told him was that he should ask his wife how she should pray for her. The second was a list that I was given a few years ago that I will share with you below.
Pray that she would...
1. Love the Lord with all her heart, mind, soul, and strength (Matthew 22:36-40)
2. Find her beauty and identity in Christ and reflect His character (Proverbs 31:30; 1st Peter 3:1-3)
3. Love God's Word and allow it to bloom her into Christ likeness (Ephesians 5:26)
4. Be gracious, speaking the truth in love, and avoiding gossip (Ephesians 4:15,29; 1st Timothy 3:11)
5. Respect you as her husband and submit to your leadership as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22, 24; 1st Corinthians 14:45)
6. Be grateful and find her contentment in Christ, not her circumstances (Philippians 4:10-13)
7. Be hospitable and diligently serve others with Christlike joy (Philippians 2:3-4)
8. Bring her family good and not evil all the days of her life (Proverbs 31:12; 1st Corinthians 7:34)
9. Have Godly older women to mentor her and help her grow (Titus 2:3-4)
10. Not believe lies that would devalue her roles as a wife and a mother (Titus 2:4-5)
11. Be loving, patient, hard to offend, and quick to forgive (James1:19; Ephesians 4:32)
12. Be devoted to prayer and effectively intercede for others (Luke 2:37; Colossians 4:2)
13. Guide her home and children in a Christlike way (Proverbs 31:27; 1st Timothy 5:14)
14. Give no occasion for Satan to accuse and reproach her (1st Timothy 5:14)
