A Heart That Soars

The ultimate goal in the fourth “model prayer for your husband,” is to see his heart “soar with joyful gratitude” as he steps into his inheritance. In a day when gratitude is often replaced by negativity, doubt, criticism, self-seeking, and more, this scriptural prayer builds into a passionate crescendo, pushing past these limiting forces.

Colossians 1:9b-12 TPT

… I’ve kept my husband always in my prayers that he would receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over his life, making him a reservoir of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding.

I pray that [insert your husband’s name] would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing You, God, in every good thing he does. Then he’ll become a fruit-bearing branch, yielding to Your life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing Your fullness! And I pray that [insert your husband’s name] would be energized with all God’s explosive power from the realm of Your magnificent glory, filling him with great hope.

My prayer is that my husband’s heart can soar with joyful gratitude when he thinks of how God made him worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to him by living in the light.

When I think of our husbands’ hearts soaring with joyful gratitude, I’m reminded of the eagle taking flight in Isaiah 40:31. He waits on the Lord, renews his strength in God’s Presence, and mounts up with wings to soar! Let’s declare this passage from Colossians once again, making proclamations over our husbands that will take them to new heights!
