See him the way God sees him.

“Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]” James 5:16, Amplified.

With all of the challenges my husband and I faced over the 20 years that we have been together, one reason I stayed with him was because I didn’t want to leave and someone else reap the benefits of all the prayers I have prayed for him. I knew God was going to transform his life, I just didn’t know when. I knew God would help him learn how to lead our family, but I didn’t know when. I knew God was going to show my husband how to be the man He called him to be, I just didn’t know how or when. I prayed for him more than I prayed for myself, and God has answered my prayers.

A trick of the enemy is to cause a woman to become so hardened in her heart towards a man that she no longer prays for him with compassion and faith. Her heart is so angry that her once humble and sweet prayers turn into a bitter venting session about what he is and is not doing.

For a real man to change, it requires the hand of God. No matter how good the sex is, how good the cooking is, how fine your body is, or how encouraging your words are in his ears, it takes the power of God’s Holy Spirit working in a man’s heart and mind to bring true change. It also requires your faith and your patience.

I believe that every man wants to be the man God created them to be, they just don’t know how. Keep praying and interceding for him in your private time with God. Declare that he is a Psalms 112 man and other scriptures God leads you to declare over his life. He may be a good man, but God desires to make him into His man who He can use to fulfill His purpose and plan. God is no respecter of persons. What He has done for me and countless of others, He will do for you!

Prayer: Father God, thank you for ministering to my heart. I pray for the man you have given me. Way before he was mine, he belonged to you. You love him far more than I ever could. I ask that you cause him to see himself the way you see him. Open his heart to receive your love and your wisdom. Teach him how to lead our family. Help me to believe the truth of your Word and to be patient. Help me to be the wife he needs and to see him the way you see him. Make him into the man you destined him to be. In Jesus ‘name, Amen.

Read Romans 8:34; Hebrews 10:36

  1. I love and believe in this posting but couldn’t stay for fear of my life so I asked God to give my the strength to leave and He gave it to me. I still believe God loves me and him but we just couldn’t stay together. We are human and God makes the changes in us according to His Will.

    1. Good morning Denise, God knows your 💓, and your life is more important. My first marriage was a very abusive one, and I too left for fear of being badly hurt. God always directs us in the way we should go!!

      God loves you!!! So do we!!

      Blessings to you!!!

    2. Amen. I agree with you. There are definitely many exceptions to this. One scripture that I stand on is that God wants me to prosper and be in good health. Prosperity in every area of my life does not resemble abuse of any type. I pray that after reading this devotional that some women do not stay in abusive relationships. I hope they can differentiate between the type of man the author speaks of and the man who is abusive. Blessings to all!

    3. This word is exactly what I need. Sometimes I feel like giving up on my husband of 31years because the one thing that I desire is for him to accept the Lord

      Right now by faith I believe that he is saved so I am living in faith

  2. Good morning my sisters!!
    Once again God shows us just who He is. This devotional is something God and I have been talking about recently. So much of this is where I was at one point in my marriage. I had “many venting sessions with God” and I did stop praying for my husband. Yes, it was a trick of the enemy. I am happy to say, God is definitely working in me and changed my heart for my husband.
    God will do for each of us!!!

    Many, many blessings!! My heartfelt gratitude for your devotionals!
    Kesha, to you and all of Daughter’s of the King staff,

    Thank you!!

  3. Thank you so much! This applied to a work situation with someone on my team. The scripture Luke 18:1 was brought to my mind. One day Jesus told his disciples a parable to show they should always pray and never give up. I will keep on praying!

  4. Morning, i did all this and then some. Yet the man I constantly prayed for. Studied many help aids for marriage. Believe God for change. Prayed Stormy Ormatine power of a praying wife countless times. Yet on my anniversary i found out about the other women. He asked for a divorce 9 years of prayer for him. He left. Was my prayers not worthy enough.

    1. Sis you have done your part. I believe that the other party has to be open and receptive to the workings of God. Your prayers did not fall on deaf ears and it was indeed worthy. Your relationship with God and your growth in God is definitely worthy. It will continue to strengthen you. Don’t give up on God let him show you where He wants you to go. Be encouraged.

      1. Thank you. Its so disappointing when you put so much into someone only to find out that they’re not putting as much into you. It makes you feel like a total failure not only to that person but to yourself your family and to God. I am a woman of many talents I have the hands of the Proverbs 31 Woman I can pull together almost anything. As I followed God’s leading for this man it seems as if now he’s where he wants to be he don’t need me anymore. Here it is a woman that is so sold out to God faithful and everything she does especially her marriage that she’s so cherish Under The Oaks that she took and this man decided that I wasn’t good enough. I pray that no woman will ever have to experience what I experienced

    2. Your story could be mine! I was all in, and Stormy’s book changed me but the prayers did not change him, yet. 12 years into our marriage, with 2 beautiful girls, found “the text.” He had been having an affair for about 8 years with a women in our bible study that he had gone into business with. I stuck through 8 years of emotional and psychological abuse that was the result of a Christian man trying to live in these 2 worlds. Knowing for sure, it was time for him to leave. I still pray for him as a person and father of my children, but God is making me whole without him. I too questioned if my prayers were not good enough for God to hear me. But He did in every other way and has taken such good care of my girls and I. I was able to leave the marriage proud of the women God was making me. (Don’t get me wrong, also completely heart broken, taking a year to just start breathing again…) But I knew I did all I could with no shame or regrets. My husband has free will and God is more patient than we are, He will not force him to love Him or me. Be a women of God that you are proud of and release your husband to God. You are loved and beautiful! God will honor and bless us for our faithfulness and doing all we could, but I no longer believe that means staying in a relationship of emotional abuse knowing that he is unfaithful. God loves us too much for that! Blessings, your crown in heaven will be very sparkly! 😊

      1. Beautiful words for all to hear and to choose to receive! You are correct. God hears and he does answer but it’s up to the other person’s free will to receive from God. That old saying you can take a horse to the trough But you can’t make him drink. God is Good ALL the time. Sisters do Not give up. Keep pursuing God. For He loves you beyond measure! You are priceless to Him. Blessings DOTK!

  5. Thank you. Its so disappointing when you put so much into someone only to find out that they’re not putting as much into you.

  6. Sisters, I hear you. Everyone has free will. That is God”s gift to us. We each choose to use it for good or evil. I can’t think or pray my husband into change. He chooses. My prayers can help set up all the resources of heaven for him to access but he still chooses whether to access. If our prayers did the changing then wouldn’t Judas have chosen life rather than suicide? He had Jesus Himself in the flesh talking with him and praying for him but he chose death. And when Paul stood before Herod Agrippa, he tried to persuade him to change. Wouldn’t Paul have prayed effectively? Our prayers set the atmosphere and open heaven’s resources for the other person but they have the gift of free choice.

  8. Hello Sisters,

    I had to leave my marriage as the abuse was getting very unbearable, it kept getting worse after each time.

    I had to leave with my son. Now I’m praying and believing God to lead me and give me a man who will love me like Christ loves the Church..

    God bless us all. Amen

  9. I have been studying in Isaiah but God told me to read a devotional today. I’m so glad that I did because this devotional speaks volumes to me. I will continue to pray and stand in faith

  10. Amen..Amen..Amem!!!!!!!
