Praying for your Man!

Sometimes (read-often)GOD sends the same message across my path numerous times in different ways...guess HE tries whatever to get my attention.
For the last several weeks it has been BROUGHT to my ATTENTION -- the necessity to PRAY DAILY for my husband. (you too!!) Seems I keep pushing it away and choose instead the whine and complain about what he doesn't do and how he doesn't do it.
WELL again this morning the devotional was as follows... GUESS HE IS determined to get the message thru my hard-head. At the end of the devotional was the challenge to confide in someone your need to pray for your husband -- to be accountable to someone to pray with you. You pray for their marriage as they pray for yours...HERE I AM ASKING... will you commit to pray for my bombarded marriage- the head of whom is my husband.. and I will commit to pray with you for yours in return.
Let's Pray:
Dear Lord, I pray for my husband, from head to toe.

His Head -That he will look to You as Lord of his life. (1 Corinthians 11:13)
His Mind ­­- That he will have the mind of Christ and think as the Holy Spirit would lead him and not the flesh. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
His Eyes -That You will keep his eyes from temptation and that he will turn his eyes from sin. (Matthew 6:13, Mark 9:47)
His Ears - That he will hear Your still small voice instructing him. (1 Kings 19:12, Psalm 32:8)
His Mouth - That his words will be pleasing to You. (Proverbs 19:14)
His Neck -That he will humble himself before You and be strong, courageous, and careful to do everything written in Your Word so that he will be prosperous and successful. (James 4:10, Joshua 1:8-9)
His Heart-That he will love and trust You with his whole heart. (Deuteronomy 6:5, Proverbs 3:5)
His Arms-That You will be his strength. (Psalm 73:26)
His Hands-That he will enjoy the work of his hands and see it as a gift from You. (Ecclesiastes 3:13, 5:19)
His feet - That You will order his steps and that he will walk in Your truth. (Proverbs 4:25, Psalm 26:3)
