How Praying for Your Husband Changes YouSample

Prayer softens your heart toward your husband

A hardened heart is an adverse spiritual condition where you stop having kind, loving, and friendly feelings for someone you care about. A hardened heart is a powerful weapon that threatens God’s plan for your marriage. Jeremiah 17:9 says the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? That’s why it’s essential to check your heart.

As you open your heart to pray for your husband, God mends everything broken in you. Fear, unforgiveness, and even entitlement have got to go. God wants you to lay your heart in His hands safely. He will humble you to see your husband as He sees him. As a result, the need to withhold praying for your husband because you feel he is unworthy will flee.

Practical Application: Confess to God what’s in your heart. Lay aside every weight that so easily beset you. Take a moment today to write in your journal. Begin with God; I lay this at your feet. It will no longer suffocate the love from you that I give to my husband. Spend a few minutes in this quiet place to release the heaviness and accept God’s freedom.
