Whether we can see it at that moment or not our wives are royalty, they are princesses of the King. It’s odd how this life can make husband and wife callused and unable to see each other for who they really are but God in His infinite wisdom brings us back around when we least expect it, just when you think hope is all but gone He breaks through to remind us of things we know with our minds but have somehow forgotten in our hearts.
Lord, help Gloria and I not to take each other for granted and help us to continue to keep You first and help us to value this communion we have with each other. Help us to fight vigilantly for this thing You have given us, for we truly need your mind on this relationship You have anointed and purposed from the beginning. I ask that You block influences that are not from you as we heal, even if it is from family, especially if it is from family. You know my heart and You know our situation, Gloria and I have carried so much baggage into our marriage its only by your grace we’ve made it this far. Help us to defend each other when something less than honoring is said of the other one so that we may know the each other’s heart, help us to show ourselves trustworthy so that we may trust each other more. Lord, help me to face each day with a holy boldness so that I may defend my family and still be kind, gentle, and loving in each response I give, even when it difficult. Help Gloria to hear You clearly and give her strength to make her own decisions, bring freedom to her heart, soul, and mind. Finally, help us both to represent You to the best of our abilities in all situations so that our children may be the people, the leaders, and the princes and princesses of the King You intended for them to be. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
