Praying for
your husband’s side today… I see the side as a place of vulnerability. Someone
can come up beside you just out of your vision… it can be a good surprise or it
can be a punch out of nowhere! It was always a good place to tickle my sisters too!
Your husband’s
side has to do with the relationships in his life… work, family, friends,
spiritual. Relationships can be a very tricky subject! There are those people
in your life you have known forever, but aren’t exactly the best kind of
influence. Even family can add an obscure mix to your relationships. It is
knowing who to sustain those close relationships with & which ones that
need to be released. It can be so hard!
I know for
myself… loyalty is very important to me, & those times when I have not been
treated right in a relationship, or it seems to be a one-sided relationship, I agonize
over what to do… I want to be a loyal friend! When this has happened I prayed
about it, asking God how to handle this. He reminded me of the verse in Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:” Some people are brought into our lives
for a time & then we have to be willing to let them go for our own growth
as well as theirs. Not easy at all… but great peace can come from it!
Who does your husband have in his life on a daily basis? He
will start sounding & acting like those people… that can be good or that
can be not so good. Even for ourselves, ladies, how is our attitude &
actions towards or with our husbands setting the tone for coming along side to
be a helper to him? Oooh, ouch!
As you pray for your husband’s side, ask Father to guide him
in the right relationships, friendships, & partnerships… the people that
influence his attitude, actions, & ultimately the direction his life will
lead. Also, ask Holy Spirit to show you those areas in your heart that may not
be such a help to your husband’s “side.”
“The righteous should
choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them
astray." Proverbs 12:26
Rejoicing in Truth!
