PRAYER FOR YOUR HUSBAND AND CHILDREN
LORD, Help me to be a good wife. I fully realize that I don’t have what it takes to be one without Your help. Take my selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn them into kindness, long-suffering, and the willingness to bear all things. Take my old emotional habits, mindsets, automatic reactions, rude assumptions, and self protective stance, and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down those walls with your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love peace, and joy (Gal. 5:22,23). I am not able to rise above who I am at this moment. Only You can transform me.
Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my husband and children. I confess the times I have been unloving, critical, angry, resentful, disrespectful, or unforgiving toward them. Help me to put aside any hurt, anger, or disappointment I feel and forgive them the way You do – totally and completely, no looking back. Make me a tool of reconciliation, peace, and healing in our marriage and in our family. Enable us to communicate well and rescue us from anything that separates us.
Make me my huband’s helpmate, companion, friend, and support. Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to. Teach me how to take care of myself and stay attractive to him. Grown me into a creative and confident woman who is rich in mind, soul and spirit. Make me the kind of woman he can be proud to say is his wife.
I lay down all my expectations at Your cross. I release my husband and family from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to You. Help me to accept them the way they are and not try to change them. I realize that in some ways they may never change, but at the same time, I release them to change in ways I never thought they could. I leave any changing that needs to be done in Your hands. Fully accepting that neither of us is perfect and never will be. Only You, LORD, are perfect and I look to You to perfect us.
Teach me how to pray for my husband and my family. Make my prayers a true language of love. Where love has died, create new love between us. Show me what unconditional love really is and how to communicate it in way they can clearly perceive. Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement about everything (Amos 3:3). May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be like minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus (Romans 15:5). Make us a team, not pursuing separate, competitive, or independent lives, but working together, overlooking each other’s faults and weaknesses for the greater good of our family. Help us to pursue things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another (Romans 14:19). May we all be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement.
(1 Corinthians. 1:10).
I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will grow stronger and more loving each and everyday. Enable my husband to be the head of the home as You made him to be and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership. Help me to understand their dreams and see things from their perspective. Reveal to me what they want and need and show me potential problems before they arise. Breath Your life into our marriage and our family.

Make me a new person LORD. Give me a fresh perspective, a positive outlook, and a renewed relationship with my husband and family. Help me to see them with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new compassion and new acceptance. Give my husband a new wife, and let it be me.
