Praying for Your Spouse - Day 10: Their Choices



I bet your spouse has never made a single decision that you have ever disagreed with. (Can you taste the sarcasm dripping off of that sentence?) The choices our spouses make are extremely important, because they involve us and our families. One wrong choice, and it can deeply effect the entire household. This is why it's extremely important to pray for their choices. Ask God to give them wisdom for each choice they make. Ask for discernment, that they will hear His voice. Ask for Godly wisdom, and that they are receptive to advice from Godly council. Bind any unteachable spirits in Jesus name. Pray that they will do what's right, rather than following their own desires.

Verses to Reference:

Proverbs 1:5

let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance

Proverbs 3:7 

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Proverbs 1:28-30

Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord.
30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke

 Proverbs 21:16

Whoever strays from the path of prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.
