Pray For Your Wife: 31 Day Challenge—Day Twenty-Four

Day Twenty-Four: That she would live in grace

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us –Galatians 3:13

If our wives trust in Jesus we know that he has delivered her from the curse of the law. She is free from condemnation and the burden of having to adhere to the whole law. Jesus was accursed for her. Yet, our wives are still tempted to live according to the law. They can get their identity from their performance. They can be shackled by relational legalism. Apart from grace our wives will respond to us according to law, lead our children according to law, and find her worth according to law. Let’s pray that she would live in grace.

Father, thank you for redeeming my wife. Thank you for becoming a curse for her. Thank you that on the cross you swallowed up every ounce of wrath that my wife deserves. Help me to see her as one that has been totally bought by the precious blood of Jesus. I pray, Lord, that she would live by grace all the days of her life. Help her to see how free in Jesus she really is. Rescue her from a heart and mind driven by performance. Help her dance in grace today. You’ve already taken the burden of the law off her back—help her not to pick it back up again. In Jesus name, Amen.
