My husband won't lead us in prayer every day?

How ironic!

I want my God to answer prayers everyday but its like he gets busy and some days he will and other days he won't and lately he hasn't been doing that much and that is bothering me. What is the best way for me to get him to do this? I want him to be the man and do it on his own but he isn't!

You need to talk to him about this.

If he isn't making the time for this then it may be indicative of a poor relationship with God. That should be your first concern, not whether or not he's "being the man".

Ultimately he has to answer to God. Not only for his actions, but for the spiritual life of you and your family.

Maybe he doesn't realize or believe that.

In any case, you need to tell him how you feel and find out how he feels.

It could be that he doesn't feel worthy of leading everyone in prayer.

It could also be that he is just busy.

Pray for him. The next step is to start asking him questions. Why is he not interested in church? What prevents him from studying the Bible? What could you do to help him in his Christian life? Based on what kind of answers he gives you can then think about and study the best way to help him. Approach him in an attitude of love and grace, and then continue to show through your actions the life of a Christian. You can review some of the articles linked below that may give you some ideas on how to help your husband. Remind him that Christ died for our sins on the cross and that Christ died so that we may be free to serve him and not ourselves. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. You might ask if that is an unreasonable request? He can start slow and perhaps begin by reading the Bible in the comfort of your own home. Gradually he can work his way towards a position of leadership. I find that beginning with the basics is the best way to go. I would recommend the following 2 sites for both you and for your husband. They really do a great job of answering questions and helping Christians to better understand God's will for us today.

So to be a man I have to lead my family in Prayer? Have your husband say this prayer ever day with the family: "Dear God, please protect me from your followers! Amen." Now that will make him a real man.

On the off chance you're serious... Why don't you try simply telling the guy that it is important to you that he leads your family in prayer daily?

I know it's hard to believe, but people actually don't know what you want if you don't tell them.

Have you considered actually talking to HIM about this instead of asking strangers on Yahoo? Maybe he has a different definition of what 'being the man' means.

I suggest that you ask him to do it later, when he gets home from work, or after the evening meal. Hopefully you can set a regular time. It is best to pray early before distractions, but I pray morning, evening, and when the lord puts something on my heart.

if this was a hundred years ago, i'd say u've got a problem, but in today's society, women are people who are allowed to take charge with their lives.... so TAKE CHARGE and YOU lead the family in prayer....!

Why does one have to thank a "god" of "myth" for the food on your plates? Someone killed the animal, another processed it and you bought it. Thank you Peter Pan for this cake on my plate, I'm sure you had something to do with it.

You know how they say when a woman doesn't want to have sex with her husband anymore, it's because she's getting it from somewhere else?

Well when a man doesn't lead you into prayer anymore, it means a divorce is coming.
