A Prayer for my Husband

Dear Lord,
I beg You, please protect my husband. I don't know who he is, but I know You do. I know that You have hand-picked him for me and are just waiting for the most amazing moment to let me in on the secret.
Protect him Lord-from all the things that would pull him away from You. Protect him from bad choices in simple things like music and movies and the use of his time, to BIG things, like girls that pass him by and the glances he wants to steal and dwell on, to thoughts, to running to someone else for love.

Keep him pure, Lord. Keep him pure. Keep his mind on things above and not on the things around him. Do not allow him to give into temptations. Keep them ONLY as temptations if he has to be attacked by them. Stay by his side when he is weak. Keep him standing strong when he wants to sit or lay. Bring people into his life that will be an accountability partner for him. Someone he can run to when things are so hard and when things don't make sense. Help him to be honest and humble when he messes up so that his relationship with You will be repaired and restored.

When we have fights or are just not communicating well, please help us talk through things, not bury them until we do stupid stuff. Stupid things to get back at each other for a small hurt.

Lord, help me to help him. Create in me now the ability to be a stronghold and a helpmate for him. Help me to put myself last. Help me to be aware of what's going on and be able to talk to him about everything.

All around us Lord, people are falling. Believers are being pulled away by sin. Pastors are falling, people who we would never suspect. We are not free. We are not safe. Please Lord, mold and guide us each individually in our lives now before you bring us together.

Please protect and hold my husband close.

~Amen.~
