This is beautiful to have stumbled upon. ~> Hope someone significant remembers to read this at my celebration of LIFE...when i've ceased to exist. You will then agree to these words and say yes...that is the t:. that I know.... t:.:

PRAYING THE WORD FOR MY HUSBAND

I love structure and I love God’s Word. Put the two together and you have a beautiful thing when it comes to prayer. Here are seven Scripture-based prayers you and I can pray to God on behalf of our husbands.
That he would be given the STRENGTH he needs to fulfill his mission.
Mighty God, grant my husband courage and the ability to find His strength in you. I pray he would not fear nor be dismayed and He would remember that You are always with Him. Holy Spirit, strengthen him with power his inner being. (Ephesians 3:16; 6:10, Joshua 1:6-9)
That our MARRIAGE would be strong.
Jesus, show my husband what it looks like to love me as you loved the church. Help me to love and serve him with a submissive and respectful heart. (Ephesians 5:25-33)
That he would THRIVE in his ministry and personal life.
I pray that he would be rooted and grounded in your love for him, as he ministers to others. I ask that you would provide friendships which sharpen and encourage him. (Ephesians 3:17, Proverbs 27:17)
That he would have great WISDOM as he leads.
God grant him the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation. May he always fear you, receive instruction in wisdom, and honor through humility. Provide wisdom through friends and mentors he can walk alongside. (Ephesians 1:17, Proverbs 15:33, Proverbs 13:20)
That I would always have a THANKFUL heart toward my husband.
Lord I thank you for my husband. Grant me a heart of thankfulness for him that transcends every season, so that in every moment I would not cease to give thanks for him. (Ephesians 1:16)
That he would have a FRUITFUL walk with God that overflows into his ministry.
Holy Spirit, fill every crevice of my husband’s heart with the fullness of you. Enable him to keep in step with your every move, and to crucify the desires of his flesh. Bring great fruit in his life as he obeys and depends on you. (Ephesians 3:19, Galatians 5:16-25)
That God would be his SAFEGUARD from the enemy.
God, make my husband sober-minded, watchful, and clothed with your protective armor, that he may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (1 Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:11-18)
Learn how to make your house a palace, no matter how humble it may be. Learn how to be a good cook. Dress like you are going on a date as much as you possibly can so you look fresh when he comes home. Learn how to be a good mother to your children, learn how to encourage your husband in the Word of God.

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”
Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."
the simplest of notions can put my heart at so much peace as I think about it's truth.  Bekah told me: Just STOP. Live like you are the branch on a vine... not the vine itself, Anna.   That's not what you are. I'm just a branch.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's trying to fill me and give me what I need to thrive. I can't thrive, much less breath   all on my own.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's not me. praise you, Lord.  Precious Lord, YOU are my vine <3  Make my heart the soft, tender heart of a child to rest in YOUR life-giving!
