Lord, create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Show me where my attitude and thoughts are not what You would have them to be, especially toward my wife. Convict me when I am being unforgiving. Help me to let go of my anger, so that confusion will not have a place in my mind. If there is behavior in me that needs to change, enable me to make changes that last. Whatever You reveal to me, I will confess to You as sin. Make me a man after Your own heart. Enable me to be the head of my home and family that You created me to be. Lord, show me how to really cover Nicole in prayer. Enable me to dwell with her, understanding, and give honor to her so that my prayers will not be hindered. Renew our love for one another. Heal any wounds that have caused a rift between us. Give me patience, understanding, and compassion. Help me to be loving, tender-hearted, and courteous to her just as You ask me in Your Word. Enable me to love her the way You do. Lord, I pray that You would bring Nicole and I to a new plae of unity with one another. Make us be of the same mind. Show me what I need to do in order to make that come about. Give me words taht heal, not wound. Fill my heart with Your love so that what overflows through my speech will be words that build up, not tear down. Convict my heart when I don’t live Your way. Help me to be the man and husband that You want me to be. (In Jesus’ name.)
