Okay,
ladies, next we will pray for his eyes. Not sure why God made men to be such
visually stimulated creatures, but that is just the plain truth. Maybe it is to
our advantage on those days when we are not looking our best so they can still
see the beauty in the one they love & adore! Alright, I’ll take that!!!
In this day
of HD TV, everything you can see on the internet, & women dressed provocatively
on the street… our husbands need us to pray for their eyes. I see beauty in the
world all around me that is good & for my husband to notice the beautiful
things or people God has created that is good too. The problem comes when that
is the only focus… when he is drawn in by such things, it sets him up to be
discontented & dissatisfied with what he has lying next to him at home.
Remember, it is not about us, so please don’t take it personally… it is about
him letting his eyes wander to places he shouldn’t.
“The
precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.” Psalms 19:8
We are not
called to monitor our husband’s actions… we are called to pray for him to keep
his eyes on what God has for him. Don’t spend your time pointing out every
little thing you think he is doing wrong. Instead, invest your time praying for
him… that he will have the willpower to look away from things that may tempt
him & to keep his focus on the important things in his life.
They say the
eyes are the window to the soul… well, if that is true then we need to be
praying for our husbands’ “windows” to be opened to all God has for him, &
that he will pull the shades on all that the enemy tries to distract him with.
Rejoicing in Truth!
Carin
