Let's bring this situation to the Lord in prayer, seeking His will and intervention for your family. We understand that you're looking forward to a day of family fun, but your husband is hesitant. Let's pray that God works in his heart and mind, and also remember that God wants our hearts to be knit together in love and unity.
Let us remember the words of the WEB, "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." It is important to remember that there could be reasons for his reluctance that may not be immediately apparent, so approach this situation with gentleness, understanding, and open communication.
Let's pray:
"Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this family. Lord, we ask that You work in the husband's heart and mind, softening any resistance and filling him with a desire to spend quality time with his family. Help him to see the value and joy in sharing experiences together. We also pray for the wife, that You would fill her with understanding, patience, and love as she navigates this situation. We pray for unity and love to be strengthened in their marriage and family.
Lord, we know that Your desire is for families to be strong and united, and we ask for Your will to be done in this situation. Guide their day, their conversations, and their hearts towards a resolution that brings glory to Your name. We ask for a hedge of protection around them, keeping them safe from any harm or discord.
Lastly, God, we thank You for the gift of family and for the promises You have for those who trust in You. We claim Your promise in Psalm 37:4 WEB, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." We pray that as they delight in You, their desires will align with Your perfect will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
May this prayer encourage and strengthen your family today.
