Be Thou Glorified!
As women standing for marriage restoration, we often tend to make things more complicated than they are or need to be and today the Lord put a very simple prayer in my heart. While it is simple, I believe we’ll find it VERY powerful, so we should pray it every time our thoughts turn to our husbands.
Lord, be Thou glorified in my husband’s life today. Be Thou magnified in his life today. In the name and power of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Here’s some supporting and encouraging scripture that illustrate the power of this simple but powerful prayer:
John 11:4:
When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
2 Thessalonians 1:12:
We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:21:
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Romans 8:30:
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Ephesians 1:11-12:
11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
When our husbands’ lives glorify God, we will be blessed with more than we could ever hope for or imagine, so we need to pray this simple, easy prayer many times a day and trust God to bring it to pass, as only He can, and as His word tells us He will, for HIS glory.
Be Thou glorified in our husbands’ lives today, Lord. Be Thou magnified in their lives today. In the name and power of Jesus Christ, Amen!
