A Husband's Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
Thank you for the joy of marriage and the truth its picture represents.
Thank you for loving the Church – your Bride.
Lord, you have given me the responsibility to be the head of my family.
Help me to realize that my leadership in the home
must take place within the framework of submission to you.
Help me to love my family sacrificially, as you have loved the church.
Thank you for the truths found in your Word.
Help me to find the Scriptures sufficient for guidance and wisdom.
You are the Wonderful Counselor, our Awesome God.
You take our frail and fallen human stories and experiences
and weave them together into a patchwork of praise to your glory.
Help me to submit always to your will and to lead my family in grace and truth.
Amen.
