If you’re a person who’s hard to buy for, maybe print out a copy and tell your hubby that’s what you’d like for Christmas — for him to pray for you every day for a month. If that isn’t something he’s already in the custom of doing, then maybe interceding for you for four and a half weeks straight will be enough to establish it as a new habit.
Either way, asking God to bless your spouse is a great way to put others first. And if you’d like to return the favor, you can download 31 Scripture Verses to Pray over Your Husband here:
