Pray Naked

Ashley came up with this tool for praying for our spouses. The idea is to laminate this list and hang it in the shower where we can intentionally take time each day to pray specifically for one thing on the list. It had powerful impact on me personally to know that my wife was praying these things over me everyday. As couples we need to keep finding ways to take each other to Jesus, it is critical for a healthy marriage.

  1. Give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness
  2. Protect them from harm at work today
  3. Place in their lives a Godly mentor.
  4. Stabilize their thoughts and give them a mind that is grounded in Godly truth
  5. Their physical health
  6. A desire to increase in wisdom and knowledge of God
  7. His/her influence at work. To be a Godly example to others.
  8. Keep him (her) from relationships that would not glorify God
  9. Our intimacy SPIRITUALLY
  10. Our intimacy OF MIND
  11. Our PHYSICAL intimacy
  12. For them to feel loved and accepted
  13. His/her desire to glorify God in the work they do
  14. Understanding his/her unique design and how that can bring God glory
  15. Release and healing of past hurts or strongholds
  16. Place in him/her THE JOY OF THE LORD. May it become their strength
  17. Teach me how to love them; in a way that nurtures them and brings glory to YOU
  18. His/her ability to trust God with our finances and provision
  19. To be attracted to holiness and purity
  20. Break generational curses that are preventing FULL RELATIONSHIPS
  21. Give us a UNITED VISION for our future and the direction for our family
  22. Teach them to RELY ON THE LORD and place their hope in HIM
  23. Pray against any fear in their lives that will keep them from GOD
  24. To be filled with discernment and compassion in their relationships
  25. Give them a heart for those who are lost
  26. Teach them to value what God values
  27. Thank God for them and their uniqueness. And Thank Him for his wisdom in joining you two together
  28. Multiply their rest and energy for the next day
  29. Comfort them as they mourn any unfulfilled desires
  30. Give him/her opportunity to use the gifts you have given them to bless someone today.
  31. To be FREE OF UN-FORGIVENESS. GIVE THEM A HEART THAT IS SLOW TO ANGER AND QUICK TO LOVE!
