Praying potent, biblical prayers for our husbands isn’t something we do on a whim. It’s an important habit that ought to become part of our everyday routine! Our spouses endure ongoing spiritual challenges, whether at work, at home, or in their duties at church. As spouses and assistants, we must acknowledge them as God’s great gifts and actively pray for them. Throughout Scripture, we see the incredible power of prayer, and I hope you will reflect on your own life to recognize its impact.
Prayers To Pray Over Your Husband
There are numerous petitions and particular topics we might present to the Lord on behalf of our husbands. To assist you get started, I’d like to provide a general guideline that focuses on five key areas. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you as you adapt your prayers to your husband’s specific needs. While many of your prayers may fit into one of these categories, keep in mind that you know your husband well, and more importantly, God knows him personally and hears every prayer from a wife’s heart.
I made a promise a few years ago to continuously pray for my husband. While it may appear lofty and mature, my motivations were more self-centered than I’d like to acknowledge. I was hoping for some changes in our marriage and thought that requesting God to intercede would help. But here’s where the twist is: I quickly understood that the person who most needed to change was myself. God impacted my perception of the value and power of prayer. I’ve seen His great work in our marriage via prayer time and again. It’s wonderful how prayer builds a continual, life-changing relationship with our Heavenly Father, who enjoys hearing from His children.
