Encouragement for Today

Dear Lord,

Thank You for today. Thank You for my life and my beautiful wife. She is the best gift I have ever received. I pray my wife overflows with hopefulness today. I pray she earnestly seeks intimate time with You, reading Your Word and praying. My hope is that she reads a portion of Scripture that speaks into her life. May she sense Your presence close to her and may You reveal to her precious truths about who she is and what her future holds. Holy Spirit, teach her Your ways and use me to lead her in those ways. I pray my wife is also encouraged by other women today through smiles, hugs, words of appreciation, and recognition. Use people to show her just how much she is loved and cared for. Use me to lift her, to affirm her, to thank her, to bless her, and to connect with the deep places in her heart. I pray and hope our marriage is an encouragement to her as well. Lord, I pray she is content with our marriage, yet hopeful for the maturity we both will continue to experience as time goes on. I pray joy is evident on her face, through her eyes, and through her every smile. Remind her that she is worthy and that You love her so much. Overwhelm my wife’s heart with peace by the power of the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Take some time to write a personalized prayer for your wife in your journal or notes app. You can also write a list of things you would like to continue to pray for.
