Leadership … TYMTJ Day 1
About 18 months ago my friend, Ashley had a wonderful time of prayer on her blog. She graciously is reposting it here over the next couple of weeks. I loved praying through her posts a year and a half ago, and I’m excited to do it again. So, Ashley, thanks so much. And … now Take Your Man to Jesus:
All of our men are leaders in one way or another and most of them lead in multiple areas. They are all the leaders in our relationships and homes. Many of them lead multiple people in their place of work. And whether you realize it or not, many of your husband’s friends look to your husband as a leader in their friendship. For those of you who have been in leadership roles yourselves, you know the burden and pressure that can come from such roles. Recognize that your husband is a leader to many people, even in situations that you may be unaware of. Let’s ask the Lord to bless them in this role, to teach them through leadership and to use them to influence others.
Our focus:
- Increase his wisdom in making decisions for those he leads.
- God would give him confidence as a leader.
- Call him to step out in his role and calling.
- Give him influence in the lives of others.
- That he would view his leadership as a way to lead as the Lord has lead him.
- Teach him through leading others.
- A teachable spirit.
Use the next twenty-four hours to focus on your husband’s roles in leadership. Take him before the Lord, specifically as a leader.

I will have to say, I am not married, but I can appreciate the power of a posting like this. With a cultural climate that doubts the sanctity and power of marriage, I think it is imperative that the leaders of our families be deep in Christ. So, I think this is an excellent idea, and I will pray for blessing and powerful testimonies to grow from this site!

We are going through some tough times right now and when I pray each day, it felt like my heart was out of it. The list you shared gave me a renewal for how I see him in my prayers.
