Prayer to submit and follow [my husband]

Dear Lord,


Today I want to remember to choose to be a submissive wife, the wife You called me to be. You say in Your Word in 1 Peter 3:1 "Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives." Lord, I repent for my lack of submission through the years. Lord, I want to turn the tides and be the follower in this relationship. I want our marriage to be a reflection of Your relationship with the church. You are the head of the church and [name husband] is the head of this family. O Lord, that is may be a beautiful marriage and not dishonor Your word. Lord, you called me to submit. Remind me in the heat of the decision. Lord, that I would choose to honor and respect [name husband] and his decisions. That I would respond positively to [name husband]'s words and actions. That I would hand over to You the responsibility of deciding whether or not those actions are right or not. Lord, that I would choose to bend my will so that I can follow what [name husband] thinks is best. Thank you, Lord, for giving me this instruction, this privilege of choice, this high calling. May these words be written on my heart. "Wives submit to your own husbands." Ephesians 5:22


In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.
