#761 - PSALMS 31:24 // PROVERBS 31:10

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord! Psalm 31:24

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. Proverbs 31:10

Heavenly Father, I need to wait on you. You are worthy of being waited on. I praise you for how you’ve honored how I’ve waited on you in the past. I thank you. But now, I must wait on you again. For the next season in my life to get underway, I must finish this season well. I must wait on your timing for things to move forward. I must wait on how you will act in the lives of others. I must wait, and I bless your name for giving me this opportunity to wait. Your word promises that in my waiting, you will renew my strength. Give my heart courage Lord as I wait on you. You have perfect timing. You have a perfect way. Waiting on you is waiting for perfection. Thank you for wanting to give me nothing less than perfect timing. I praise your name, and will wait for you in whatever form or fashion you call me to for as long as you call me to! You are worthy!

I praise you Lord for my wife. I praise you for her grace. Her kindness. Her patience. The way she serves me, thinks about me, prefers me. I have found an excellent wife, she is more precious than jewels, and it is only by your grace that this is true. Thank you Lord for 16+ years of marriage in which every year we have grown closer to you and closer to each other. Help me Lord to honor my wife as the precious gift that she is to me. I repent for the many ways in which I have failed to do this. I repent for the ways in which I’ve taken your gift to me for granted. I repent for not loving as you have loved the church. Help me Lord. I am in desperate need of your Holy Spirit power to be the husband that you have called me to be. I need your Holy Spirit to be the husband that my wife needs to see you, glorify you, and surrender every part of her life to you. Strengthen me Lord by your hand. I pray all of this in Jesus name, Amen.
