Lesson One - Day Four

Day Four

Praying for My Husband to Be a Man of Integrity

Key Scriptures: Proverbs 28:6, Psalm 41:12, I Peter 5:8

The Power of Scripture

1. Read Proverbs 28:6. What does the word integrity mean to you? Why is it important for you to pray that your husband has integrity in all things and at all times?

2. What guidelines for walking with integrity do the following passages offer?

Matthew 5:37

Ephesians 5:8-10

I Thessalonians 5:15-18

3. Read Psalm 41:12. Has there been any instances when you have noticed God uphold your husband and honor his integrity? Affirm you husband for his honorable position in the workplace.

The Power of Application

4. Read I Peter 5:8. What influences in your husband's workplace threaten to take him from the path of righteousness that God has for him? Ask God to either remove them from his life or enable him to stand strong and not compromise in any way. If nothing comes to mind, be thankful and ask God to keep you alert and aware.

5. Read John 16:13. Are you ever concerned that your husband might make hasty decisions that may not be the right ones? Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your husband in every decision he makes.

6. If you are concerned about your husbands integrity, write a prayer asking God to reveal to him the error of his ways and the need to walk uprightly. If your husband is of unquestioned integrity, write out a prayer of gratitude and request for His protection from anything that could come upon him suddenly and tempt him to compromise his high standards.

The Power of Prayer

Your husband may be strong but no matter how strong he is, he is still vulnerable and needs to be upheld in prayer to be able to stand strong against an attack on his character. Take this time to write out a prayer for your husband in your journal.
