The mind, what a powerful thing! It can be powerful in a positive way or a very negative way.
From the book:
Depression, bitterness, anger, fear, rejection, hopelessness, loneliness, rebellion, temptation, evil and many diseases all begin in the mind. These things can control your life unless you take control of your mind first. That is why God instructs us to not accept as truth everything we think. "I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, according to their own thoughts" (Isaiah 65:2). He wants us to share His thoughts. "We [who believe] have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).
One of our fellow prayer warriors suggested that you insert your husband's name into the prayer. It makes is more personal and real!
Let's pray today for our husband's minds:
Lord, I thank you for watching over my husband's mind and giving him strength and discernment to know what is of you and what is not. I thank you that he hears your voice and a voice of a stranger he doesn't follow. I thank you that he has the mind of Christ and guards it. I pray that any problem he faces in his mind, he recognizes it as the enemy and rebukes it and replaces those thoughts with praise and with Your Word. I thank you in Jesus Name, Amen.
If you are struggling with thoughts - depression, fear, loneliness, etc, pray this prayer for yourself too. You and your husband are one and things that affect you ultimately affect him!
