Lesson Two - Day Five

Memory Verse

1 Corinthians 10:24

"Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being."

Praying for My Husband's Self-Image

Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 8:29, Colossians 2:9-10

The Power of Scripture

1. Read 2 Corinthians 3:18. What attributes of Christ would you most like to see imprinted on your husband's character? Ask God to allow the likeness of Christ to be stamped upon his soul.

2. Read Romans 8:29. What is your husband's destiny?

3. Read Colossians 2:9-10. What changes in your husband as well as in yourself - changes in attitude and behavior, for instance - would you expect if you both of you were convinced of the truth that you are complete in Christ?

4. Read Psalm 8:4-6. What does it say about your husband and who God created him to be?

The Power of Application

5. Do you feel your husband has a truthful and accurate perception of himself, or might he tend either to underestimate or overestimate himself? Does he feel rejected or fearful that people will reject him? Write out a prayer asking God to help your husband feel accepted by the Lord and confident in the presence of others. If he does not struggle with this, write out a prayer of gratitude.

The Power of Prayer

Pray for your husband to truly know the Lord in a deep and lasting way. Pray that he will know who he was created to be. Pray that he will know his creator in the depth that God desires. Pray that he knows who God really is so he can know who he really is.
