Day 3 Friendships (40 Prayers for my Husband)

Abba Father,

This morning the prayer guide suggests I pray for my husband to have meaningful relationships with others, friends, brothers.

Our lives are so full of relationships.  We have such a large family, and sometimes the responsibilities of being the head of such a large family can out shadow the relationships.  I ask that Jeremy not only seek to mentor our children, but that he will also develop deep bonds with each of them.  Bonds that create life long relationships of trust and accountability.  I pray that he desire to share his hopes, dreams, passions, failures, sorrows, and loses with his sons.  I pray that he longs for a relationship with his sons/son-in-laws that is deep and blessed.  Give him time and ideas to make those relationships flourish.

Lord, I pray that you give Jeremy a friend that he can grow with and be an encouragement and a blessing to.  I thank you for making he and I bound together in love and friendship, but I know what  blessing it is to have women in my life that I can trust with my whole self.  I ask that you bring even one man into Jeremy’s life that he can feel so comfortable with that he is truly honest and open with.  I pray that you give him a friend that will also be completely honest with him, and tell him the hard things he needs to hear at times.  Give him an iron sharpens iron relationship.

I know that men are very different than women in how they relate to one another, and what they need from a friendship.  But I ask that You see Jeremy’s need in this area, and You meet it.

Father, most of all, I ask that Jeremy have a relationship with you like Abraham.  Your Word says that Abraham was a friend of God.  That is the friendship I desire most for my husband.  That You would call him friend, and that he would know you intimately like Abraham, David, and Paul.  Teach him to walk and talk with you always.

Amen
