Married? Engaged? Seriously dating? Single but hoping to get married one day? Leading a wife and family is challenging work, and I admit that I fail more often than I wish to admit. But it is a process that God will continue to hone us through, and so I wanted to provide you with a brief prayer that I wrote a while back. As a husband, I wanted to have a prayer that would encapsulate the man I wish to be and how I desired God to grow me in my role as husband.
Here's the prayer...I hope you can gain something from it and perhaps apply it to your own life as well.
"God, today I ask that you make me humble and equipped to lead with tender leadership by serving, encouraging, and doing everything in my power to make her look good in Your eyes. I ask that You give me strength to respond in kindness, affirm and support, and that my temper, tongue, and pride would not hinder my godliness or leadership. I pray that You will be honored by my life and by my marriage."
Whether you use this prayer or you write your own from scratch, identify the man you wish to be in the eyes of God and your wife and write down a prayer to remind yourself of those things on a daily basis.
