These monthly Scripture Prayer Calendars for our marriages were born out of a recent spiritual realization that has totally changed my marriage. I'm sharing more about this over at my friend, Mandy's blog, Worshipful Living. Please join me there now to read about The One Spiritual Realization That Totally Changed My Marriage and to get your free printable, "July Scripture Prayer Calendar for My Husband".
Our reading today in Proverbs with the Good Morning Girls was in Proverbs 13. We see in verses 13-14 that anyone who despises the Word of God brings destruction on himself, but those who receive the commandments of God will be rewarded. The reward is eternal in Heaven when we believe in the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. We need to keep our husbands covered in prayer that they would always have a deep love for the Word of God.
One of my prayers for my husband is that he would have a hunger and a thirst for more of God's Word. He's in the Bible a lot already as he studies and prepares as a Children's Pastor. But in his own personal devotion time, I've witnessed God answering that prayer, friends.
Verse 14 tells us that wise teaching is a fountain of life. The Holy Spirit is the Master Teacher for our husbands as He opens up the truth of God's Word - a fountain of life - to our husbands during their daily quiet time in the Bible. It is only by the truth of God's Word that the hearts of our husbands will continue to be turned away from the snares of death.
"Whoever despises the word
brings destruction on himself,
but he who reveres the commandment will
be rewarded.
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
that one may turn away from the snares of death."
~Proverbs 13:13-14
We are in a spiritual battle for our marriages and for the soul of our husbands, ladies. We must be equipped for the battle with the Word of God. Let's join together in this spiritual battle, friends, by committing to pray daily for our husbands. Don't forget to head over to Worshipful Living where you can read about The One Spiritual Realization That Totally Changed My Marriage and get your "July Scripture Prayer Calendar for My Husband".
Walking in His Grace,

I LOVE this idea of having a prayer calendar with the verses on it :) I am always trying to find a verse to pray over my husband or kids, but having a month's worth at hand is a great idea. Thanks for making this available :)
