Letters To My Bride | Father I Thank You

Father,
I Thank You for my Wife. She seeks you and so should I. Thank you for a marriage where we do not hold grudges nor do we play games. Help me to always look beyond what she is really telling me. In this case she was telling me that there was something wrong with the car. She was also telling me to listen to her opinion. In my arrogance I thought I knew the situation better. I should have considered her feelings more. I apologize for not using your discernment more because in the end God, she was right! I should remember that you stepped in and told Abraham to listen to his wife. That was Good Advice. I married her so I should at the very least take what she says seriously. You gave me a good one. I would say your best.
Keep working on me so I can be the husband that you want me to be.
In Jesus Name. Amen

I Stand Ready...

Lord I stand ready to defend my wife from the snares and traps of the enemy. I know that evil tries to drag her down. The enemy wants to take her mind. He wants to steal her spirit.

He hates her joy and he despises her faith. He seeks to kill her confidence and maim her strength.

Lord I pray in Jesus Name that you would keep her safe. That you would empower me to pray for her and smack me when I neglect to do so. Help me to keep my eyes on you so I can see where out help comes from.

Thank you Lord for the blessing that is my wife.

In Jesus Name I proclaim her safety.
Amen

Standing For You...

Lord I know that the world has it in for my wife. I know that the devil is trying to get her to have doubts. Doubts about her worth, her beauty, and her walk with you. He is waging war against our marriage in a big way. He doesn't want our marriage to succeed.

I know, however, that you Father are our help in our time of struggle. I know that You made her with love and pride in your heart. I know that You have a plan for her and for our marriage. So Father I will not worry. Make me the mirror by which Your reflection of her shines.

In Jesus Name
Amen

Making Things Fit...

I was really frustrated with you this evening. I wanted to stay mad with you but I was prompted to stop focusing on myself and focus on you.

I was overcome with a desire to let people who are important to me know just how much I love them. So I began emailing my friends, telling them that they were special to me, that my life would be so very different with out them.

Then I began to think about our 10+ years together. How we are now on our 6th year of marriage and I was blown away by how grateful I am to have you in my life. I can't even imagine whatg my life would be like today if we had never met. There are so many wonderful thing that I would never have experienced without you by my side.

As I listen to you and Z snorring here in our room I am awed by how great
God has been to me.

I love you Darling. No matter what that will never change.

God's Man
