Jeremiah 29:11 - "God Bless The Broken Road"

3:52AM...The Lord woke me up and I asked who I was to pray for...His response was 'your husband.' I started praying from the tip of his head to the tip of his toes. I prayed for his brain to have wisdom; his eyes to see through Jesus' eyes; his lips to speak truth; his ears to hear from the Lord; his arms to be loving; his hands to be gentle; his legs to have strength; and his feet to support him as He walks in obedience. I then prayed the full armor of God over him. I prayed for the helmet of salvation to give him eternal life; the breastplate of righteousness to continue to enable him to walk in the Spirit; the shield of faith to continue to be what he gains strength from; the belt of truth to be his way of life; the shoes of peace to be what he depends upon in troubling times; the sword of the Spirit to be his guide; and most of all for him to pray in the Spirit at all times. He is such a man after God's heart. He works so hard as he seeks the Lord's will throughout life. He left a 'comfortable' place to come to a place that is so different in so many ways. The one way that is not different is he continues to seek the will of God where He has put us. He trusts God in everything but especially when things don't make sense. He trusts Him when the future seems bleak and God continues to bless his trust. I am grateful to have him as my husband but especially grateful for the godly example he gives to me as my pastor. What a privilege to have the Lord wake me to pray for him during the night. I didn't get up to get this list but it is one that is worth praying...
