Day 7: Praying for His Mind
Lord, your Word is living and powerful, the discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb 4:12). I’m thankful that you know what is in my husband’s head, even when I
don’t understand. Help me be patient
and understanding, instead of critical and divisive.
Renew his mind so he has the mind of Christ (I Cor 2:16), thinking
about whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, having
virtue, or anything else praiseworthy (Phil 4:8). Please lead him in loving you with all his
heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). Help him take every one of his thoughts captive and be obedient to you
today (2 Cor 10:5).
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned
or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God
of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:6-9
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were
thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these
things?
Mark 2:8
