1 Peter 3:7(NIV)
7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
I do think it is not only husbands that must be considerate, but it is all in the attitude we treat others and the attitude we enter into prayer. The Bible makes it very clear how to pray so that the Father will hear our prayers:
Hebrews 5:7(NIV)
7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
Jesus was heard because of one reason – His reverent submission! The definition of submission is the action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.
Jesus fully submitted His will to the Father. He made His own will known to the Father, but His attitude was, “…not as I will, but as You will.”
If you want to be heard when you pray, pray in reverent submission and submit your will to God’s will!
Shalom!
