Today, let's focus on our husbands as just that, a husband. If you are not yet married, pray for your guy as he steps into the role of husband. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. Your husband, my husband, is the leader. Already. It's settled. You don't have to negotiate it or loose sleep over it, they are the head of the home. Christ appointed them to that role.
In thinking about praying for this role, it was hard for me to stripe this roll from the other rolls he fulfills. Yet, it is the one role that is solely created for me. Funny, isn't it?
Our focus:
Encourage him in his leadership of me, his wife.
Continue to develop him into a man that always makes marriage a priority
Give him a deep love for me, his spouse.
Give him new revelation into your heart for marriage.
Guard his eyes from Satan's attempts to steal his affection from me.
May he be a model of submission as he submits to the Lord.
Give him wisdom in leadership.

I'm jumping in a few days late, but I love this whole series you are doing. What a great idea! (Loved your Christmas card, too, BTW:)
What a wonderful idea you had to do this! I am just now catching up, but I really appreciate what you are doing. I am always in prayer for Jeremy, but sometimes don't know exactly what to pray for. I love how you are breaking this up into 10 days. What a blessing you are Ashley!
Ashley, I found your blog through a friend of a friends site (props to the online world) a couple days ago. I really appreciate what your doing with TYMTJ posts. It has started a lot of internal processing for me and I plan to do my own soon...very soon. I hope you don't mind if I follow along.

Ash, its been forever since I've gotten on here, but i am going to start the TYMTJ devotion right now! It is a beautiful thing, and I've been trying to find something to use for this same idea. Thank you for this! Love you girl!
btw...send me your address when you get a chance...you were one of the ones i didn't have your new address :) even though it's old
I have a hard time with this one. I suppose it's the "control freak" in me... and my desire to take care of everything.
there I go... making it about me, huh?
I will definitely pray for my husband on this one. He NEEDS the patience of Job to deal with me. :-D
Thanks again Ashley!
