A Wife of Noble Character - Proverbs 12:4

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. (Proverbs 12:4)

Dear Father,

Should these children decide to marry, I pray for the wives these boys may choose to marry and for the kind of wives these girls will become. I pray that these boys find and these girls become women of noble character - women of deep spiritual commitment, women of strength, women of wisdom, women of compassion and women of integrity. I pray that these boys find and these girls become women who have hearts for the poor and the oppressed, women who desire to make a mark in the world for the cause of Christ and women who teach their children, should they have them, these attributes of godly character.

Give these boys wisdom and discernment as they choose a wife that they will consider these attributes and look seriously for a women who possesses them. I pray that these girls see and seek out mentors who pattern these attributes and help them to develop these noble traits.

In all of this I acknowledge that a married couple who is deeply committed to these attributes will together have great and reverberating impact on the world for your kingdom - and that is my great desire and earnest prayer for these little ones.

Amen
