obviously we are all different as are our spouses. we have unique strengths and weaknesses. ask the Lord to help you know how to best pray for your spouse. ask your spouse what things he currently struggles with so that you can pray VERY specifically for him. bring these things before the Lord throughout the day. the Lord is so good in that we don't need an appointment to come before him, but because of the Lord Jesus we can boldy approach Him at anytime during the day! i have appreciated the posts/comments made recently by mothers who have had to find creative ways to spend time with the Lord. isn't He so gracious that we can come before Him however we are able?! praise Him!
