Daily Prayers for My Wifeনমুনা

I TAKE YOU, MY PARTNER IN LIFE

The Lord God made the rib He had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. GENESIS 2:22 CSB

After God created the heavens and the earth, He brought Adam a gift that would change his life forever: Eve. And the holy blessing is that Adam received her with open arms. Such is what we do when someone gives us a gift—we receive it, we unwrap it, we look at it, and we hold on to not only the joy we feel from the gift but the sentiment we feel toward the giver. The excitement Adam must have felt, the gratefulness to God he must have expressed, is no less than what any husband experiences when God has “brought” him a lifelong partner. In turn, may you receive your wife not only the way you did on your wedding day but every day the sun rises, while holding on to the same gratitude you felt the day God brought her into your life.

Father, my heart overflows with sincere appreciation because You created and brought to me my wife, my partner in life. I remember the day we met and the day we said our vows, and I carry that joy into today. Help me to keep her and the blessing she is to me above the dailiness of life and the details that try to draw my eyes and my heart off such a gift. Help me to honor her, serve her, love her, laugh with her, cry with her, and forgive her throughout our days and years together. Help me never take for granted the partnership we share and the purpose You give us together. The words “thank You” don’t come close to expressing the depth of gratitude I feel toward You for this experience of loving and holding the woman You have brought to me. Please help me to do my very best to uphold her in all the ways that will please her and You. IN YOUR GREAT NAME I PRAY. AMEN.
