“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.
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

I needed this…my husband has turned his heart away from what is right and doesn’t want to listen to any Godly advice. Please pray for me to keep lifting him up to God. It’s only been a year but it seems like an eternity. I needed to hear how this wife never gave up on God and His timing. Our Lord is all powerful and omnipotent and we have to wait on His timing because He knows the perfect ending. It’s just hard to be patient.
My friend sent me this prayer! She knew exactly what I needed in my season of hopelessness! Thank you Lord for this prayer and restoring my faith in this area!
