Father, in the name of Jesus, I take Your Word and speak it out of my mouth and say that I have faith that I am a capable, intelligent, patient and virtuous woman. I am far more precious than jewels. My value to my husband and family is far above rubies and pearls.
The heart of my husband trusts in me confidently and relies on and believes in me completely, so that he has no lack of honest gain or need of dishonest spoil.
Father, I will comfort and encourage him and do him only good as long as there is life within me. I gird myself with strength and spiritual, mental and physical fitness for my God-given task. I taste and see that my gain from work with and for God is good. My lamp goes not out; it burns on continually through the night of any trouble, privation or sorrow, and it warns away fear, doubt and distrust.
I open my hand to the poor. I reach out my filled hands to the needy—whether in spirit, soul or body. My husband is known as a success in everything he puts his hand to. Strength and dignity are my clothing, and my position in my household is strong; I am secure and at peace in knowing that my family is in readiness for the future.
I open my mouth with skillful and godly wisdom, and in my tongue is the law of kindness and love. I look well to how things go in my household. The bread of idleness, gossip, discontent and self-pity I will not eat.
My children rise up and call me blessed and happy. My husband boasts of and praises me, saying that I excel in all that I set my hand to. I am a woman who reverently and worshipfully loves You, Lord, and You shall give me the fruits of my hands.
My works will praise me wherever I go, for, Father, I confess that I am a submitted wife—simply because I want to be and I recognize Your authority. I thank You for my husband, who is head over me, but who has given me (through the chain of command) the necessary power to do what Your Word says for me to do from Proverbs 31:10-31. I am as this woman is—a loving, successful, submitted wife—in the name of Jesus.
