No matter how good and wise he or she is, a person needs to be prayed for. Your husband may be upright, loving, and kind, but he still needs your prayers for him to become a better version of himself. You need to consistently pray for him; you can pray for his new week. Here is a A New Week Prayer for Your Husband:
Dear heavenly Father,
You hold the universe. I pray that You bless this new week that You have given my husband. Please make him healthy and physically able to do his work, including his tasks at home. Grant him success in what he will be doing. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
What can I pray on a new week for my husband?
Each week is important for any person. Each week brings forth new experiences, learnings, and challenges. Your husband may experience any of these so it would be wise for you to pray for your husband’s new week. Here are some areas in which you can consider praying for him:
-
Joy
God gives people time to be happy. He wants your husband to be joyful. However, there will be times when your spouse will go through some sadness, disappointment, discouragement, or frustration, causing him to lose his joy. The Bible tells us to always be happy in the Lord [Philippians 4:4 (NIV)]. Pray for your husband to have pockets of joy even in such circumstances.
-
Strength
God is strong and blesses His people with strength, but there are situations in which your husband may have to work hard, and he will grow tired. He may become weak; he may see himself as not having enough strength to face the difficulties of life. In Isaiah 41:10 (NIV), God promised that He would give strength to His people. Ask God to strengthen the body, mind, spirit, and faith of your husband.
-
Protection
God is the great protector. His mighty hand protects His people. He always knows how to protect them and provides the necessary protection for an individual. Request God with confidence that He will lovingly protect your husband from danger, harm, and the attacks of the enemy. Written in 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NIV) is an assurance that God will protect us. Request God’s constant protection for your husband’s safety.

Guidance
A new week must always begin with connecting with God through prayer and meditation. By doing this, your husband will receive guidance from God, which will lead him to become wise. Your husband needs to follow the lead of the Lord. David strongly voiced the promise in Psalm 32:8 (NIV) that God will guide us. Ask God to bless your husband with a good listening ear, discernment of God’s will, and an obedient heart.

Good health
Your spouse will be doing several tasks each week. Some tasks will require physical strength to accomplish. Your husband needs to be physically fit and healthy. In 3 John 1:2 (NIV), the Bible shares with us that John had prayed for the health of his friend. Pray to God for your spouse’s health so that he can perform his job, duties, and responsibilities.

Peace
The evil one may occasionally disturb and storm your husband’s peace but this peace should not be stolen by satan. In 3 John 1:2 (NIV), John speaks of his prayer for his friend to have good health. Request that God will give peace to your husband so that he may be able to stand and defeat the work of satan.
-
Rest
Work for the new week may become tiresome and stressful. Your husband may stretch his energy to work more and beyond his capacity, thus making him weary. It is critical that your husband gets enough rest. In Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV), Jesus invites those who are tired to come to him for rest. Ask God to give enough rest to your husband.
-
Motivation
After resting during the weekend, the thought of another week coming may burden your husband, especially when his next work is wearisome or challenging. Your husband needs some motivation to become inspired and driven to do well in his job and his tasks at home. The apostle John penned the encouraging words of Jesus for us to walk with, and one good action of walking with Jesus is being motivated [John 16:33 (NIV)]. Pray for your husband to be motivated to the point of being inspired and enthusiastic about work.

How do I bless my husband for a new week?
You have been blessed by God with your marriage and your husband. You can bless your husband by doing simple things for him, the most important of which is to pray for him. Here are seven ways in which you can bless him.
1. With your gratitude
Your husband has obligations to fulfill and is constantly working for you and your family. He works hard because he cares about you. You can bless him by being grateful to him.

2. By taking care of him
Your husband may be independent and do things all by himself, but he also needs you to take good care of him. Written in John 13:34-35 (NIV), Jesus, the author of love, commanded that we should love others the way He loves us. Take care of your spouse’s needs. Show him you care by doing even little things for him, like washing his car and doing some of his chores. You can take care of him spiritually as well by singing to him or with him and reading the Bible to him.
3. With love language
Husbands and wives give and receive love in various ways. 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV) is a great reminder that we should continue to do things out of love for others. Discover your husband’s love language, whether it is in acts of service, words of affirmation, giving gifts, physical touch, or quality time. You need to know his language and give him that love, and it will make him glad. It will be a great blessing to him.
4. With prayer
One of the best ways to bless your husband is by praying to God for him. Ephesians 6:18 (NIV) mentions the importance of always praying. Pray for his mental health, strength, and well-being. Pray for God to bless him with deeper faith and courage. Request God for him to overcome temptations and be victorious. Petition for perseverance and patience. You move God to bless your husband in many ways when you pray.
5. By being supportive
It is written in Proverbs 3:27 (NIV) that we should do good to others when we have the means to do it, and one of the good things that you can do for your husband is to support him in any way you can. Support him as he reaches out for his goals and dreams. When you support him, he will not only be blessed but you and your whole family will be blessed as well.
6. By being positive
Husbands may have troubling thoughts that the enemy uses to dishearten and defocus your husband from finishing the good that he has started. Your husband may dwell on negativity. Philippians 4:8 (NIV) tells us about the positive things we should be thinking. Let your light shine before him. Let him see the positivity and optimism in you. Usher him toward positive thinking.
7. By making him happy
Many things can happen in a day. Different emotions and thoughts may enter the heart and mind of your husband. Satan may cause him to be sad and gloomy. In Mark 12:31 (NIV), we are commanded by Jesus to love our neighbor, and your husband is your neighbor as well. Loving him means making him happy, too. Show him the joy that God brings, and he will be blessed.
8. By having good communication
God communicates with us powerfully through His word. The psalmist stresses how we should communicate with each other in Psalm 37:30 (NIV); we should say words of wisdom and of what is right. God also communicates with us through his Spirit. When God united you and your husband in marriage, He paved the way for you and your spouse to have good communication. You can bless your husband by speaking to him gently and kindly. Listen to him and respect him.
