Day 2: His Spiritual Growth

Scripture
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever!"
— 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)

Devotional Thought
Just like plants need sunlight and water to thrive, our husbands need a steady dose of God’s truth and grace to grow into the men God has called them to be. Let’s face it, though—spiritual growth isn’t always easy! Life gets busy, and sometimes it’s simpler to stay “comfortable” than to press into new levels of faith. But today, we’re praying for some holy ambition—a spark that lights his heart on fire to know God more and walk boldly into spiritual maturity.

When he’s intentional about his spiritual growth, he becomes stronger in his faith, wiser in his decisions, and more of the man who’ll lead your family in purpose and love. So let’s pray for God to lead him into growth that will transform not only his life but bless everyone around him.

Prayer
Lord, I thank You for my husband and for the journey You have him on. Today, I lift him up, asking that You would place in him a deep desire to grow in his faith. Give him a hunger for Your Word, a commitment to prayer, and a heart that’s willing to follow wherever You lead. Help him to prioritize his walk with You and pursue growth that reflects more of Your love and truth in everything he does.

Father, strengthen him against any distractions or comfort zones that hold him back. I pray that he would be intentional about seeking You daily, growing in grace, and taking steps toward maturity. Surround him with people and resources that encourage him, challenge him, and inspire him in his faith. May his walk with You flourish and become a wellspring of wisdom, peace, and love in our marriage and family.

Declaration
I declare that my husband is dedicated to growing in his faith! He is intentional about his spiritual journey and focused on maturing in his walk with God. His life reflects a pursuit of grace, truth, and the strength of character that only comes from knowing the Lord deeply.

Personal Note
(Today, think about ways you can encourage your husband’s growth. Maybe share a verse with him, gift him a new journal or book that could support his journey, or simply let him know you’re proud of his dedication to spiritual growth!)
