Just as Jesus is praying at the right hand of the Father in intercession for us, we must take the same posture as husbands. We should be intercessors for our spouse.
Here are 3 prayer focuses that God has given me for my wife in this season, and you can use to pray over your wife today. I pray they bless you!
1. Identity
Whether your wife is a new mom or a new spouse, she is probably struggling to identify with who she is. The enemy loves to toy with your spouse’s identity. He does this my making her feel insecure.
If she knows who she is in God, this will eradicate the insecurities and help her to feel more comfortable in her skin. Her life is hidden in Christ and pray she will have the tenacity to search it out.
2. Trust in God
When your wife becomes your wife, she leaves the leadership of her father to your leadership and during the first years of marriage, you are taking leadership for a test spin! So, as you can see, trust can be quite fearful. Pray Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord will all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.”
3. Courage
Your wife needs courage in order to face her fears so that she can see the dreams that God has given her manifest. More than likely, her probably fearful on how she is going to accomplish it all. Pray that she has the courage of Joshua 1:9, which states, “Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with You wherever you go.”
These points should help you get your intercession started. I will have more in the coming months.
Happy Interceding!!
