Pray For Your Husband

This week our prayer for our husband is:
That he would not be thin skinned (not a pushover), not quarrelsome but peaceable, discreet, not quick tempered, not one to throw insults. May he not speak with loose, confusing or deceptive words. May he not be proud/vain (with no chips on his shoulder).
A man who is humble and loves God. A man who in his calm spirit will stand up to his wife when he sees her straying from biblical principles. A man who speaks with wisdom, not profanities, not prideful insult. Isn't that the man we all pray our husbands to be, a man like Christ?
Many of you may read the blog "Grace Full Mama." My husband actually introduced me to it. Her July 13, 2012, post entitled "A Kind Wife," moved me and caused me to give pause both to the kind of husband this man (like my husband) is as well the type of wife I think I need to be vs. what my husband needs/desires. This husband's response melted my heart. It is that of a humble man after the Lord's own heart. Read this brief blog post and consider how God may be challenging you through it:
