Default Should husbands and wives pray together?

Faithwoman keeping you in my prayers. May your daughter sense your great love and concern for her and see that what a mom has to do at times; though hard, is best. God does the same with us and He loves us very much also. Have a safe and good trip...

Bondman;
Here is something for discussion speaking of prayer (especially PPP) I have asked I have asked my husband to pray with me again (married almost 10 yrs in Jan.) for these ministry concerns and he says that there is NO need to pray that God gives us our needs are provided for according to His will. But it does not say NOT to pray! Then he sly said he will pray with me "when he feels LEAD"...
Matthew 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your
Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

If we feel insufficient (as my husband seems to act) or do not know what to pray (many times we all must ask for wisdom) God has sent us a Helper. Hallelujah...We do not need to be a 'prayer warrior' to speak with him and share our heart with our Lord. We should go humbly before the Throne of Grace and since the Word of God does not specifically command husbands to pray WITH their wives, he does not seem to think that it is necessary or even good even though I ask it of him.
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
1 Timothy 2:8
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Paul requested prayer of the Thessalonians:
2 Thessalonians 3:1
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Prayer for others to further their walk with the Lord:
Colossians 1:9
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
2 Thessalonians 1:11
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Exhortation to pray for each other:
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Please pray with me that he (my husband) might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;(Col 1:9)that our God would count him worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power2 Thessalonians 1:11)that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, (2 Thessalonians 3:1) and of course Ephesians 3:16-19 that He would grant him according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in his (our)hearts by faith; that he being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that he might be filled with all the fulness of God.


Ephesians 3-20-21
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Have a great day!!!
