7 Guided Prayers For Your HusbandУзорак

### A Prayer for a Teachable Spirit Heavenly Father, Your Word tells us in Proverbs 9:9, “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.” When my husband has a teachable spirit, he will be positioned to grow even more with each experience in life. A foundation of humility leads to a teachable spirit, Lord. Undergird his mind and emotions with courage—courage not only in You but in who You have made him to be. That courage will give both humility and a teachable spirit the opportunity to flourish. Thank You for the confidence and courage You provide to all who look to You and trust You completely. Pray about any concerns you have regarding your husband’s ability to possess a teachable spirit. If there are no concerns, then praise God for the development He has done in your husband’s life in this area and for the favor shown to you for marrying a man with both humility and a teachable heart. If, however, your husband has an arrogant or prideful and demanding attitude, then you know God will be working deeply to break that stronghold and develop inner humility. Give your husband extra grace when God is busy reshaping him to be more like Christ, and intercede for him with the Lord. Gracious Lord, fear, insecurity, and a need to feel in control can sometimes get in the way of the ability to learn from others and from You. I pray You will give my husband a healthy amount of courage so these things don’t stand between him and his high calling of living with humility and a teachable heart. Let him understand that being teachable is an honorable way to live and reflects tremendous personal significance. Help him to see my respect for him when he does demonstrate humility and a teachable spirit. Help me never to withdraw my respect for him as my husband even when he demonstrates a lack of humility and courage, as we are all in process. Let my respect encourage him so that he longs to maintain a humble mind-set in all he does. In Christ’s name, amen.
