40 days of Prayer for your future husband ... Day 25 ( Communication)

40 days of Prayer for your future husband ... Day 25

Communication

The tongue is the part of our body that can be the biggest blessing and the biggest curse to others.  Marriage hinges on communication.  Love is not enough.  Love is a decision, and you must decide to communicate. Sometimes verbal communication is harder for men than it is for women. Lets be honest ladies, some of us can also be ticking time bombs at times emotionally.  Having a foundation of friendship and effective communication will strengthen a marriage greatly.  Take today to pray that the Lord teaches your husband to communicate more efficiently ( Hint Hint... today would be a great day to pray the same thing for yourself).

Heavenly Father-

Today I ask that you make both myself and my future husband aware of how powerful the tongue can be.   Lord help us to see how it can be used to build up and  edify those around us, to glorify you and worship your Holy name, but also to tear down the people we love the most.  Show us how the tongues response comes out of either an overflow of your love or a influx of pride and selfishness in our lives.  Lord I ask that you help my future husband to learn how to control his tongue.  I know Lord there will be times that I will make him angry or frustrated, and Lord I pray that you would move in his heart today and help him to learn to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.  Father I pray that you would show him what enormous damage it can do when he speaks out of anger or just without thinking.  I pray that he would use his words for the edification of others and the up building of your kingdom.   I pray that he thinks before he says something and considers the impact it will have on others as well as their feelings. I pray that he chooses to speak life and not death.  Father I pray that you would teach us even today how to speak to each other in a way that will be best understood by the other.  Father communication is not just verbal, Lord I pray that you would help develop the areas of verbal and non verbal communication that the other needs most.   Father I pray that you would teach both of us to put our pride and selfish desires aside in an argument and help us to resolve things in a way that would glorify you. Father I thank you for all you are doing to prepare him to be a mighty man of God.

I pray all these things in Jesus Name-

Amen
