Praying for my Husband

[UpstateNYChristianBro]

Sounds like a plan. To make it a little easier to implement I suggest using the month of February as that only has 28 days. Now, which 2 of the items on your list would you consider to eliminate without affecting the whole?

Hahaha, its up to her, tourist. Please dont try to short cut anything with God. Remember about Jonah? About the Goud (sp) as well? God does not like short cut. Even God Himself for 40 days, FORTY days to be tempted and you want to cut to 28 days?

Look, Moses wandered 40 years. Isaac was much older before he married Rebekah. Jacob wanted Rachel but ended up with Leah and cost him another 7 years to get the one he wanted. Get the drift? God bless those who endured long and not a quitter.

This is what you should be praying for>>>>> Matt 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Um... I was going to say what fallingdeep. What if she has a desire and I can see she has a desire to marry someone. Everyone has different calling and different desires. Hers is to serve God AND husband. If you say that to everyone to "pray for God's Kingdom" and not for a spouse, then mankind would have ended around 500 AD.

Have you forgotten the "A.S.K." segment in the Bible as stated in Matthew Chapter 7:7? Maybe you are the one needs to brush up your knowledge of the Holy Bible.

I have prayed for my wife for years and finally found her. I can tell you that I did not pray way back for a job after high school and I did not get anything for long time either. So, please do not judge other people. Let them pray what they are called to pray for.

fallingdeep, You sound liked what I went through all my life. I prayed for my bride since 1985. Please see my blog related to the dreams, visions I had since.

I would like for you to add one more thing, try fasting too.. Try to forget men and give it all to God and not even to talk to men at all. Then you will know when it happens. I fasted for 3 weeks not talking, looking, or anything with women at all until that day a woman came up to me crying asking me to fix her flat tire. I decided to help and I believe this is why I am blessed to know what my bride is like.

AND know you know what you are seeking for. It is like you giving God the desire and God will pour you the desire like you give what is due to God your 10 percent. Similar.

Try that. God bless you!

It's a model of how we should pray. It could be seen as a command but in the context I don't think it is.

Those words were thought as if you were giving a command... It is clear it was something given with good reasons.

I rather type well! There was I time I paid to send telegrams. That could be part of "the notion" I got when reading another quick reply on this thread, brother.

 

[secularhermit]

@ falling deep "...I thought it was an awesome idea when I read it from someone else! "

I agreed! He will find it that way. Those days he may think he was fighting alone, you might be fighting -next to him- spiritually before GOD and against those dark forces the LORD Jesus is going to beat with His fits.

Hope one day you write down that complete love story on CC.

I´m glad she hit at your door, brother!

one more time,..

you can read the passage where Jesus told about the widow who bothered the ungodly judge...she was persistent..its not idolatry...
And if you care please share how your personal selfless life in Christ was..?
Bringing an excuse and fortifying yourself with meaningless explanations doesn't answer..

Make your answer no or yes,Jesus said so...
Just Live by Faith,there are so many people even today who sell all they had, give it to poor and follow after God's Missions even when they have families..
What about you?Can you share something so everyone can learn..?
Or do you run behind bible hiding your life and secret failures?
Admitting being a coward is a good step to bravery...everybody has a story..

Should i go in detail?

Go into as much detail as you like. I simply posted one line of scripture about how to pray which has been conveniently ignored. It has nothing to do with sellling possessions or being a coward nor being hurt and bitterness. I never said it was wrong to pray for a spouse nor was I judging a relationship.

 

[FireWire]

Prayer is so important, as is specific prayer.

It's good also not to remain abstract about some idealized vision of someone to marry. If we keep praying "Thy will be done". a husband whom the Lord might bring into your life will doubtless have imperfections - as we all have - but it's good to continue in prayerful dependance on Him. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3.3)

Thank you for this.

This is exactly what I've been trying to say and you've done it in one paragraph.

Will do. It is becoming reality!! Today talked about everything to be planned and to make it happen. And tomorrow, talk with my sister about my relocation and go from there.. she said today it sounds great!! Happy for me over the texting on my phone.

Hmmm! I liked what I read but, last week, I was following those steps with the one I liked, so I (and she) decided to stop it (I´m happy I stopped this).

I never thought how complicated it would be if I tried to marry a person who thinks I would marry her (and also her children). That´s not for me!

I´m thankful GOD directed me to know and leanr more. I sinned, but it would be worst if I had married.

I´d rather see the joy others might get. I´m not sad or disappointed, but I don´t want my picture taken.

Um...I didn't say these words. This was Jesus actual words. He spoke them in audible form. Are you going to deny that too because that's all I've seen so far.

If you say that to everyone to "pray for God's Kingdom" and not for a spouse, then mankind would have ended around 500 AD. This is a weak argument. Mankind would have continued to flourish and has done so. Why? Because not everybody is a Christian and most people whether Christian or not will marry whether they have prayed about it or not. I also pointed out Gods will be done. A part of Gods will is to "be fruitful and multiply". I never said it was wrong to pray for a spouse.

My other concern was one has to be very careful about repetitious prayer. Jesus even said something about that at the beginning of The Lords Prayer.
The fact of the matter is that praying for something continually (everyday?) or an extended period of time is a new age technique for praying something into existence. This kind of thing is also frequently found in eastern mysticism and religions. This isn't how God works.

I look forward to being crucified once again

short excuse is still an excuse...i also run out of excuses sometimes...understandable..

you say mankind here totally,...... an individual's desire doesn't count?
Is everyone the same?
Tomorrow if you went through worse than what Job(book of Job) went through,still will you compare with the total mankind that everything is still moving on?
you are crucifying yourself in the wrong place,none else is doing it...

Once again your response is way off context. I'm not even going to reply to it. It was UpstateNYChristianBro who talked about mankind. Query it with him lol.

I was reading a blog the other day where a wife had taken it upon herself to pray deeply and decisively for her husband every day for the month of June.

I'm not married, but I thought this was a FANTASTIC idea even for us unwed people. Why shouldn't we also be praying deeply for our spouses for an entire month? I do a generic prayer daily, but now I'm mixing things up. I'm excited for my husband and want the best for him--even when I'm not yet in his life.

Praying for Husband
1.) His Wife
2.) His work
3.) His finances
4.) His sexuality
5.) His affection
6.) His temptations
7.) His mind
8.) His fears
9.) His purpose
10.) His choices
11.) His health
12.) His protection
13.) His trials
14.) His integrity
15.) His reputation
16.) His fatherhood
17.) His relationships
18.) His priorities
19.) His past
20.) His attitude
21.) His marriage
22.) His emotions
23.) His walk
24.) His talk
25.) His repentance
26.) His obedience
27.) His deliverance
28.) His self-image
29.) His faith
30.) His future

This is the list of "daily prayer" examples that I'm using. I'm hand writing each prayer in a journal (designed specifically for my husband that I can hopefully give him someday). It's a fun idea for those single writers out there!

If you dont mind id like to use your idea and your prayer examples it sounds like a great idea

 

[Angel173]

Again, you've misinterpreted what I was saying. I said I've been at "this" since I was 5... PRAYING. Not for my husband, just in general. I began my relationship with God when I was 5.

I have had an AMAZING relationship with God. He speaks to me regularly. Through signs, prophesy, prayer, and yes, even audibly. Would God speak audibly to a child who wasn't walking strong with Him? Have you heard the voice of God? I have. And when He spoke to me, He wasn't angry with me, He was encouraging me.

And again, I appreciate your "concern" but I am in no way idolizing my husband! I'm praying for him because I WAS CALLED TO. BY GOD.

God does know what each individual does and does not need, but does that mean we shouldn't talk to Him? Let him know how things are going? Pray for our friends and family? Pray for God's children whom He so adores? I think He likes when we talk about one another. We are His treasure, you know that right? He loves us more than anything! Which is saying a lot because he's God and He is EVERYTHING.

I wouldn't get along with you in person at all, FireWire, because I can tell from here that this is more about YOU than God.

I didn't verbalize praying the way YOU interpret praying so I must be in the wrong. I must be idolizing something (or someone). I spend HOURS a day in prayer. I am not exaggerating when I say God is my best friend. Even when I'm driving and I see something funny I'll laugh, and I know I'm laughing with God. I thank Him for that. I pray for the homeless guy on the street, that he may know the same kind of relationship I have with Jesus. I pray for my church leaders, that they may get an extra boost of support. I praise God for all He's done in my life--including the scary, frustrating, and sad--because I can see Him in it. I thank Him for where I'm at. I tell Him jokes sometimes. I pray that He can comfort me when I need it and that I'll find just the right verse in the bible to help me. I sing praises ALL the time. I love God more than ANYTHING this earth can provide. I am always in contact with Him. Always. Sometimes I don't hear back right away but that's never prevented me from talking to Him.

I'm a sinner. I am. I struggle. When I'm especially angry, I cuss like a sailor. I don't hold that back from God either. I cry out to Him and fall into Him. I let Him hold me and comfort me in the way only He can do. Then I ask to be forgiven for my behavior, because I know that's not what He wants from me. But he forgives me. And we're both happy again.

He's with me now, as I write this, because I not only want you to understand my heart, but His. His heart is for His children. Yes, He wants His will to be done, but His will is for us to see His heart. He wants what any father wants... For us to know the true love of their father and to cherish it.

I am doing His will by knowing that--by sharing that. God's light radiates through me. People ask me why I'm glowing and I can tell them, GOD! Many doors have been opened for me to share the gospel by just being me--by living for and loving God. That's amazing! That's not me doing it... It's all God... But I chose to let Him work through me because the relationship is a choice!

I love that God's heart is for me. I love that I'm adored and I love adoring and praising my true father! My husband is going to be the same, I'm just sending him a wee pick me up if he needs it.

Can't you feel it when people pray for you? Once my dear friend was on pain meds that made him suicidal. His now fiancé awoke abruptly in the night with it laid on her heart that she needed to pray for her future husband. (This was long before they had even begun dating, although they were acquainted.) It wasn't until recently that they came to realize the two instances coincided perfectly (by reviewing journals upon their engagement). HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! God knew! And just because He knows, doesn't mean he wants us to hang out and do nothing! No, He wants to hear from is always! In everything!

He knows my heart. He's very pleased with my praying. It's only been five days of concentrated praying (in addition to my other words), and I have been SO blessed in every area of my life! He is pleased with me. I love feeling my father's "hugs." Nothing beats His blessings.

God is good and he is holding my hand as I walk this journey. I can't say I'll be frequenting this forum anymore, mostly because I don't want to start any more arguments. I am the least confrontational person I know, haha! But this struck me to the core because this is my relationship under judgement.

hey don't get upset over small small things..
Just ignore the hurts and stones thrown at you by hurting people...
Its because they are hurt that they hurt others,... D

Keep the cool...you did nothing to hurt yourself tat much...everybody has drawbacks....dont feel inferior,Jesus came for the weak...and lost...

Please stay and help others,there might be people whom God can help by using you as His Hands and Mouth and comments..

Prayer is so important, as is specific prayer.

It's good also not to remain abstract about some idealized vision of someone to marry. If we keep praying "Thy will be done". a husband whom the Lord might bring into your life will doubtless have imperfections - as we all have - but it's good to continue in prayerful dependance on Him. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3.3)

Nope,its easy to sense things from the beginning itself when your whole intention is to 'impose'.
This is a public place and i am talking to you in a descent fashion my brother..

Zeal for God is Good,but sincerity also counts..
i admit there is not a single day that goes by that i feel i could do something more for being Holy for God,..but i fail mostly..
Still where i have overcome,i have overcome indeed...and i have learned that its better to share life and connect with Scripture to make another person free from bondage....

Its not freedom to recite the Prayer that Jesus said like a machine..but things take a new turn when we call Jesus as Father or Dad.When we Pray more intimately and referring to Holy Bible things are better.
am no superior to correct you,but what i realize is we lack compassion mostly when we are acquiring more knowledge and go behind it alone with no Prayer life.When that happens we forget that its God's Grace that keeps us standing and we need to be compassionate even when we overcome.Becoming a condemnation preacher makes a person more cunning in a mischievous way,and the moment they are questioned about their life they avoid such questions and come up with a lame excuse like you did now.

You're still not getting it. I wasn't exactly talking about the Lords Prayer itself but a section where it says Gods will be done. The OP has found something on a blog without ever questioning it against the Word of God. Now what the OP is doing is aligning God to her own will indirectly with an intense focus on this. She may even be visualizing who this man is. After all you have to have something to focus on when you pray don't you? Well as I already said this is a new age technique for praying something into existence and involves repetitive prayer. When you pray you focus on God and all that He does, His love, His compassion, His majesty and not on yourself so much. It's fine to in this case pray for a spouse someday but a continual focus on it puts God in second place and demonstrates a lack of faith. Ask and ye shall receive as somebody pointed out. I was aware of this. How many times do you need to ask? Perhaps God will get weary and cave in anyway. You see, God isn't impressed with repetitive prayer nor can it come from the heart. It just becomes ritualistic and you tell me sincerity counts? Her attitude toward this is rather flippant when prayer is serious business. This isn't about being superior at all. I'm certainly no bible scholar or theologian and have much to learn. You'll notice the OP has not mentioned the bible at all and posting is very emotive. She claims to have been made inferior yet seems to point out her superiority. I'd like to give the examples:

I'm a very good prayer - I've been doing this since I was 5 so I must be good at it and I can get what I want.
I have a very good relationship with God even because He said so - Since when do we determine what God thinks. We're sinners in need of Gods grace.
I hear God speaking to me audibly - really? I don't and I've never known anybody who has. Have you heard God speak in this way?. This is scary. It didn't send shivers through my spine because I've seen it all before.

You need to understand that compassion isn't always a warm fuzzy feeling. You'll need to point where I've been condemning and I'll take that on board. All I did was point towards a verse of scripture and get accused of being condemning and crucifying myself. Surely I don't need forgiveness for being so concerned?

Are you saying it's wrong to impose whatever it is you're talking about in a public place? Was it wrong for Jesus and the disciples to be preaching in a public place? Essentially are you saying it should be restricted within the confines of a church? Well, here's the news and it's not hot off the press - the internet is a public place.

The Bible warns of the day when people will hear only what they want to hear.

When you say people want to hear only what they want,you are also looking and trying to hear only what you want to.
Even if you started Praying from a small age or an experienced Praying man,it doesn't work like 'i can get what i want from God' when i pray.that doesn't work with Jesus.
Even Apostle Paul and Not even Jesus could get it from Heavenly Father.
This is wrong approach brother.This is wrong approach...
i feel the Weight of the Cross everyday(one way or the other)that God gave me when i had the True Salvation experience one day after a Heavenly Vision.No more my desires worked.
Continuous Prayer doesn't make God weary when its His Child that is asking.
Its not about getting a lamborghini that is mentioned by her,but an important part of one's life-a life partner.One has Every right to ask.If God put the Desire,a person will not go weary to ask it again and again for years with Patience.

Here is what i found till now and its all in debt,because God's Faithfulness was always there..even when i was not..
Whenever i went to the point of hopelessness and God realizing am on the edge,always opened ways.And there have been times for years about repeated Prayers when i was pushed to the extreme...
So in total,we cannot pass a comment just like that to recite and repeat without Love a Prayer(Luke Chp.11 KJV) that should be Respected and Meditated upon.
When we do that without knowing more about the life of the person whom we are convicting,we sin!
Apart from that who am i or what's my worth to value your integrity.
am myself a worm whom God found in the pit and Because of His Mercies He Lifted me up from there and is Restoring me back to Him Gradually to Him in course of time..
