Prayer for husbands and wives--Priorities

All of Stormie's prayers are so good. I thought I would place this one here:

GOD , I proclaim You Lord over my life. Help me to seek you first every day and set my priorities in perfect order. Reveal to me how to properly put my husband before children, work, family, friends, activities, and interests. Show me what I can do right now to demonstrate to him that he has this position in my heart. Mend the times I have caused him to doubt that. Tell me how to prioritize everything so that whatever steals life away, or has no lasting purpose, will not occupy my time.

I pray for my husband's priorities to be in perfect order as well. Be Lord and Ruler over his heart. Help him to choose a simplicity of life that will allow him to have time alone with You, Lord, a place to be quiet in Your presence every day. Speak to him about making Your Word, prayer, and praise a priority. Enable him to place me and our children in greater prominence in his heart than career, friends, and activities. I pray he will seek You first and submit his all to You , for when he does I know the other pieces of his life will fit together perfectly.

It is good to think of priorities and putting my husband before other things in my day--this is a great reminder and a good prayer.
