Render service with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men.

—Ephesians 6:7 HCSB

Today's Dare

Before you see your spouse again today, pray for them by name and for their needs. Whether it comes easy for you or not, say "I love you," then express love to them in some tangible way.  Go to God in prayer again, thanking Him for giving you the privilege of loving this one special person - unconditionally, the way He loves both of you.

Today was our son’s Birthday party, even though it is only his birthday on Wednesday. We all had a great time with family and friends and my son really enjoyed it. Hubby did not work and it was great having him around. My son enjoyed all the attention especially from his daddy!

I saw my husband the entire day, but I did pray for him and expressed my love in words and deeds.

In my prayer for him:

Lord I pray that H… will clearly hear the call You have on his life. Help him to realize who he is in Christ and give him certainty that he was created for a high purpose. Enable him to walk worthy of his calling and remind him of what You’ve called him to be. Don’t let him get side-tracked with things that are unessential to Your purpose.

Strike down discouragement so that it will not defeat him. Lift his eyes above the circumstances of the moment so he can see the purpose for which You created him. Give him patience to wait for your perfect timing.

I pray that the desires of his heart will not be in conflict with the desires of Yours. May he seek You for direction and hear when you speak to Him. May he not buy into the foolishness of this world, but keep his eyes on You and have ears to hear Your Voice.
