Why is it important to pray for our husband's or loved one's mind? Because, it is in the mind where feelings of depression, anger, fear, rejection, hopelessness, loneliness, and many diseases start. It's important to get a hold of how you think! "To be carnally minded is death, but to be peacefully minded is life and peace" (Roman 8:6). At times, we may hear negative words like: it's hopeless, failure, or throw in the towel. These are all words that the enemy wants us to entertain our minds with and believe. But, God desires for our minds to be filled with words like: there's hope, possibility, and over comer. Another tool you can use to help your loved one attain a sound mind is by speaking the word of God over them. It's amazing what a message of hope can do for someone who is feeling overwhelmed, burdened, or desperate. It has the ability to pull them out of that despair into a whole new arena of possibilities. Help your spouse or loved one silence the voice of the enemy and attain peace by praying for them.
Prayer by: Stormie Omartian
Lord, I pray for Your protection on my husband's mind. Shield him from the lies of the enemy. Help him to clearly discern between Your voice and any other, and show him how to take every thought captive as You have instructed us to do. May he thirst for Your Word and hunger for Your truth so that he can recognize wrong thinking. Give him strength to resist lying thoughts. Remind him that he has the mind of Christ. Where the enemy's lies have already invaded his thoughts, I push them back by inviting the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse his mind. Lord, You have given me authority " over all the power of the enemy" (Luke 10:19). By that authority given to me in Jesus Christ, I command all lying spirits away from my husband's mind. I proclaim that God has given (name of person you are praying for) a sound mind. He will not entertain confusion, but live in clarity. He will not be tormented with impure, evil, negative, or sinful thoughts, but be transformed by the renewing of his mind, that he may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).
Enable him to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" (Ephesians 6:10). Help him to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let his request be made known to You: and may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Phillipians 4:6,7). And finally, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, having virtue, or anything praiseworthy, let him think on these things (Phillipians 4:8).
Awesome prayer, thank you
