What can I pray for my husband on Christmas?

God has gifted you with a husband that God loves dearly. You may have prayed for him before in many ways. This Christmas, you can pray for your husband in some specific areas. Here are ten areas where you can come to God through prayer for the welfare and benefit of your husband.

1. Health

Good health is one of the most precious things that a person can have. When an individual is healthy, he or she will be able to move quickly and act wisely during their tasks, duties, and responsibilities. It would be good for you to pray for your husband’s health. In the New Testament, the Bible tells about John, who prayed for the health of his friend [3 John 1:2 (NIV) Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. ]. The mention by John of his prayer for health signals the importance of taking care of one’s health. Pray that your spouse will be able to take good care of his body and maintain a balanced diet. Request to God that your husband will only eat foods that are beneficial to him and refrain from consuming foods that will cause him to become ill. Ask God to bless his mental health as well. Back up your prayers with your physical support.

2. Work

A job, business, or career is a welcome blessing that a person receives from God. Thank God for the work that He has offered and entrusted to your husband. Praise Him for His provision through the income your husband earns from his work. In Philippians 4:13 (NIV), the apostle Paul’s statement reminds us that we can indeed do all things through the empowerment of God. Pray for your husband to do well in his work and improve day by day. Ask God to bless your husband with diligent hands. Petition God to make your spouse work effectively and efficiently. Pray that your husband will be grateful for his work and the opportunity that God has given him. Ask God to give your husband a glad heart as he does his tasks. Request that your husband shines at his workplace so that his coworkers may take notice and praise God.

3. Relationships

Your marital relationship with your husband is a blessing to him as well. Pray for God to encourage your husband to do his part in your relationship. One of the great teachings in the New Testament is about loving others, which Jesus commanded in John 15:12 (NIV). Ask God for your spouse to be more loving, supportive, caring, and gentle toward you. His relationship with your children is also of high importance. Request to God that your husband be a loving, responsible, and dependable father to them. The relationships between your spouse and his friends and colleagues are important as well. Pray for him to be thoughtful and helpful to them.

4. Joy

God is the source of joy. However, there are days when joy can be hard to find. There will be times when your husband will be in a situation where he is pushed toward sadness, struggles, hardships, or even sorrow. In James 1:2-4 (NIV), the author says to rejoice even in trying times. Pray for your spouse to be joyful despite discouragements or disappointments, for these are not permanent and will pass. Ask God to help your husband rejoice despite his difficulties, knowing that God will be with him through the storms of life. 

5. Peace

Peace can be difficult to achieve in this world, with negative emotional and spiritual forces disrupting people’s peace. But God freely gives his peace. He gives peace to those who pursue righteousness. We read in John 14:27 (NIV) (Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.) the powerful message of the Lord, in which He said that He gives His peace to His disciples. Ask God for your husband to consistently obey God, for there is peace in obedience. Pray for your spouse to bring his worries, fears, and anxiety to God in prayer. Request that he has positive and uplifting thoughts. Petition that he will dwell on the truth and on what the Bible teaches, as this will help him have peace.

6. Patience

Life is being carried along at an increasing rate nowadays; more can be done than ever before in mere seconds or with just one click. Because of recent modernization and new technology, most people expect instant or at least quick results. The patience of many can be tested. The enemy may prompt your husband to be impatient. It is written in Ephesians 4:2 (Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.) that Paul instructed the believers to be forbearing toward others. Pray for God to increase your husband’s patience as he waits for things to happen. Ask God to strengthen the patience of your spouse, especially when interacting and dealing with other people.

7. Courage

One of the most sought-after characteristics of any husband is courage. A husband’s courage can be discovered when he is going through a tough time and fear enters his heart and mind. In Joshua 1:9 (NIV) (Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”), the Bible speaks of the command of God to be brave with the promise that He will be with us. Pray for your husband to be fearless. Ask God to give your spouse the full armor of God. Request that God prepare your husband to be brave. Petition God for your spouse to be calm, for God will give him the courage that he needs to win his battle.

8. Wisdom

There is so much information and knowledge available almost everywhere. Some people claim to be knowledgeable; others claim they are wise. A great number of people want to be not only knowledgeable but wise, too. It is found in Proverbs 2:6 (NIV) (For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.) that God grants wisdom to people. Ask God for your husband to be wise according to God’s standards. Pray for God to bless your husband with discernment and understanding. Request for your spouse to be wise in his speech and conduct. Petition for your husband to be guided by the Holy Spirit in making decisions.

9. Faith

Faith is one of the most priceless gifts that God gives to His people. Faith ushers an individual toward doing the good, better, and even the best things. Faith makes things happen. However, there could be circumstances in which your husband’s faith could be tested. He might have to go through some self-doubt or lack enough trust in God. Matthew 17:20 (NIV) (He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”) is a great lesson that Jesus shared when He told of what even a small faith can do. Pray for your spouse to overcome his doubts. Remember the miracles of God and all the wonderful things He has done in your husband’s life and in your family. Ask God to increase your husband’s knowledge of God and faith.

10. Plans

God has planted achievable plans in your husband’s mind. Remember that God has those plans especially set for your husband. God will enable him and help him to make those plans a reality. God will give him all the necessary resources, abilities, and strengths to achieve them. God declared in Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) (For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.) that He has plans for us and that they are for our good. Ask for your husband’s plans to be aligned with the plans of God. Request to God that your spouse follow the leading of the Lord and be directed in His ways. Pray for your husband to be equipped to fulfill the plans of the Lord in his life.
