This past weekend has been a bit crazy, and full of some unexpected situations that have scared us, broken our hearts, and truly shaken us a bit. We have started reading Crazy Love in our small group, and the first two chapters already have begun to challenge our thinking.

For me, one of these ways has been in terms of the depth of my prayer life. While the form of prayers constantly ebbs and flows with the seasons of life, I find myself all too often reactively praying in response to situations that occur, rather than proactively seeking Him in everything. While this includes praise and petition, I often lack intentionality in my prayers on a more broad and general sense. So in an effort to increase that intentionality, I want to gather specific ways to begin praying for my husband and daughter. To start, here are 10 verses to pray over your husband.
