May God Be Merciful And Bless Us.
May
His Face Smile With Favor On Us.
The power of a blessing. This could change your marriage!
Scripture
1 May God be merciful and bless us.
May his face smile with favor on us.
Observation
This
is what I encourage all married men to do before you go out the door to go to
work. Give your wife a kiss goodbye and then pray a prayer of blessing over her
(out loud so she hears your prayer!).
Kathy
and I attended a Family Life Seminar a few years ago and one of the speakers
encouraged all the men to pray a blessing over their wife before they went out
the door to work. I had never been challenged to do that before.
I
can tell you that as I prayed for Kathy each day I struggled to find a
different, creative way to pray this morning blessing.
It
was hard not to pray the same thing each morning and we laughed at some of the
things that I came up with like, “Lord, give Kathy a great day today, or Lord,
smile on Kathy today, or Lord, may Your face shine on Kathy today, etc.”
I
can tell you it made a huge difference in our relationship. It probably did
more for me than Kathy.
So
kiss your wife before you go out the door, but also take a second and pray a
short quick blessing over her. It can change your marriage!
Application
I don’t go out the door each morning to go to work. My
bad heart is messing that up at the moment. So I think I will start praying a
blessing on Kathy each night when I give her a good night kiss before we go to
sleep.
How about you what are you going
to do?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, bless Kathy today. May Your face shine on her. Fill her with Your
Presence and Your Power and Your Love. She is the greatest gift that You have
ever given to me. Smile on her today. Thank You for bringing her into my life.
Amen.
