"Lord, help my wife to make our home a peaceful
sanctuary. Regardless of our financial state, give her the wisdom,
energy, strength, and charity of mind to transform our dwelling into a
beautiful place of refuge that brings joy to each of us. Show me how I can encourage and assist her in that.
Holy Spirit, I invite You to fill our home with Your peace, truth,
love, and unity. Through wisdom, let our house be built, and by
understanding may it be established. Reveal to us anything that is in
our house that is not glorifying to You, Lord. I say that 'as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord' (Joshua 24:15).

More Prayer, More Power! "Her Husband"
Boaz Ministries
"Lord, I pray that You would bring my wife and me to a new place of unity with one another. Make us be of the same mind. Show me what I need to do in order to make that come about. Give me words that heal, not wound. Fill my heart with Your love so that what overflows through my speech will be words that build up, not tear down. Convict my heart when I don't live Your way. Help me to be the man, husband, and spiritual leader that You want me to be.

More Prayer, More Power! "His Wife"
Boaz Ministries
"Lord, I confess the times I've been unloving, critical, angry, resentful, disrespectful, or unforgiving toward my husband.
Help me to put aside any hurt, anger, or disappointment I feel and forgive him the way You do -- totally and completely, no looking back. Make me my husband's helpmate, companion, champion, friend, and support.
Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to. Teach me how to take care of myself and stay attractive to him. Grow me into a creative and confident woman who is rich in mind, soul, and spirit. Make me the kind of woman he can be proud to say is his wife!

More Prayer, More Power! "His Wife"
Boaz Ministries
Lord, I lay all my expectations at Your cross. I release my husband from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to You.
Help me to accept him the way he is and not try to change him. I realize that in some ways he may never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in ways I never thought he could.
I leave any changing that needs to be done in Your hands, fully accepting that neither of us is perfect and never will be.
Only You, Lord, are perfect, and I look to You to perfect us. May we be 'perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (1 Corinthians 1:10).'

More Prayer, More Power! "Her Husband"
Boaz Ministries
"Lord, show me how to really cover (wife's name) in prayer. Enable me to dwell with her in understanding and give honor to her so that my prayers will not be hindered (1 Peter 3:7). Renew our love for one another. Heal any wounds that have caused a rift between us. Give me patience, understanding, and compassion. Help me to be loving, tenderhearted, and courteous to her just as You ask me in Your Word (1 Peter 3:8). Enable me to love her the way that You do.

More Prayer, More Power! "Her Husband"
Boaz Ministries
"Lord, create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within
me (Psalm 51:10). Show me where my attitude and thoughts are not what You would
have them to be, especially toward my wife. Convict me when I am being
unforgiving. Help me to quickly let go of any anger, so that confusion will not
have a place in my mind. If there is behavior in me that needs to change,
enable me to make changes that last. Whatever You reveal to me, I will confess
to You as sin. Make me a man after Your own heart. Enable me to be the head of
my home and family just as You created me to be.

More Prayer, More Power! "His Wife"
"Lord, help me to be a good wife. I fully realize that I don’t
have what it takes to be one without Your help.
Take my selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn
them into kindness, long-suffering, and the willingness to bear all things.
Take my old emotional habits, mindsets, automatic reactions,
rude assumptions, and self-protectiveness and make me patient, kind, good,
faithful, gentle, and self-controlled.
Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with
Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love,
peace, and joy (Galatians 5;22, 23). I am not able to rise above who I am at
this moment. Only You can transform me.
