King Solomon, the wisest man to ever walk the face of the earth once said (Proverbs 24:16): "A righteous person falls seven times and gets up" Welcome to being human. So you fell? Get up, brush yourself off and keep on moving. There is only one thing much worse than messing up. It's holding on to it afterwards. Everyone fails. The best just get up and turn the page. They don't live in the past. They learn from it and move on. Don't let your mistakes drag you down permanently. We all have aspirations in life, whether its academic, financial, health or relationships. There are accomplishments we hope to achieve. But guess what, we are human and so we fail. we trip, stumble and fall. How many times do we drop the ball on something, miss a deadline, bomb a meeting, fail a test, forget an important date, indulge in something that was wrong or do something selfish that hurt those around us? When we are doing it we are so driven but once it's done, we realize it's wrong! And that's when we choose to either allow our failures to drag us down further by giving up just to try to rationalize our actions or try to blame it somebody else... or STOP. Realize it was wrong, learn something productive and then turn the page. King Solomon's distinction is not who makes mistakes, it's who get up afterwards. Choose to get up, and turn the page.

Praying for our husbands Head to toe
I recently heard of this concept about praying for my husband head to toe when I looked it up I liked it and adopted it in my praying for my husband.
I do pray for my husband but looking at this outline of head to toe prayer I realized there are many areas I do not touch when saying a prayer for my husband.
Wives if u like it adopt it and lets lift our husbands up in prayer because What our husbands need most is our respect and what our marriages need most is prayer.
Dear Lord, I pray for my husband from Head to Toe.
His Head
“Father, I ask that You would continually renew my husband’s mind, resulting in a transformed life. Help him bring every thought into captivity to Christ to make it obedient to You. Give him a greater understanding of Your Word. Help him to think on things that are pure and right and worthy of praise.” (Psalm 119:15, Rom 12:2, 2 Cor.10:5)
His Eyes
“Lord, keep opening my husband’s eyes to deep spiritual truths. Help him to see things as You see them. Please guard his eyes from looking at worthless things. ” (Psalm 119:18, Psalm 119:37)
His Ears
“Father, let my husband hear Your voice clearly. Help him to recognize your voice with certainty. Protect him from listening to anyone who is not seeking and walking with You. Help him not to be affected negatively by what others say and to discern between good and evil. Give him the ability to determine what is of You and what is not.” (Is 30:21, 1 Kings 3:9, 1 John 4:1)
His Mouth
“Help my husband to speak the truth in love. Help him to be quick to listen and slow to speak. Give him the couraage to lovingly confront when necessary. Let the words he speaks be Yours, not his own. Help him speak words that bring grace and truth to the hearers. I also pray that you will help him to grow in his ability and desire to communicate with you and others.” (Psalm 19:14, 119:13, 41:3; Eph 4:15, 4:29; James 1:19)
His Heart
“Give my husband a heart that seeks passionately after You. Teach him to guard his heart with diligence. Help him deal with anything in his heart that is not pleasing to You. Create in him a pure heart. Enable him to lead our family with integrity.” (Psalm 78:72, 119:10-11; Prov 4:23; 1 3:13)
His Hands
“Lord, I pray that everything my husband does would be done with his whole heart, serving You rather than man. I pray that You will also help him to increase his skills and his abilities. Bless everything he puts his hands to.” (Psalm 24:3-4, Col 3:23)
His Feet
I pray my husband would love Your Words and walk in Your ways. I pray He would be to walk in a manner that is worthy of You, bearing fruit in every good work. Jesus show him how to creatively share your truth with our kids as he does life with them each day. Father, when he walks through the valley of the shadow of doubt and difficulties, I pray he would fear no evil
For it is in Jesus' Name, I do pray Amen!
