General Prayer Focus: Husbands

Specific Prayer Focus: Love For God

Prayer: Father, I thank You for my husband and ask that You would pour out Your blessing on him today. I ask that You would put the love that You have for Your own Son Jesus into his heart, causing him to overflow with love for Jesus. I pray that the same affection, passion, and delight that You have in Jesus would grow within my husband’s heart and that He would feel the emotions of Your heart for Your Son, being impacted and transformed by it. I pray that His love for Jesus would far surpass his love for me as his wife and that he would have a longing and desire for more intimacy with You. I pray that You would give him the ability to love You with all of his heart, all of his soul, all of his mind, and all of his strength – holding nothing back! I pray that You would empower him by Your Holy Spirit to love You wholeheartedly, not allowing any compromise or sin to keep him from giving himself completely to You.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’[a] This is the first commandment.
