How Do I Pray For An Angry Husband?

Dealing with an angry husband can be challenging. In such a situation, your days will be filled with emotional roller coaster rides that can be difficult to handle. Your patience with your husband will be tested, and your relationship will be challenged. You can either head on and be angry with your husband as well, or you can silently pray for him that one day he will change. Prayer can help change the course of a person’s life. That is why, instead of battling your husband in a rage, calm yourself and pray to God for help.

Father, I pray and lift my angry husband up to You. Please calm his raging heart, Lord. Allow him to see peace and give him a gentle and compassionate spirit towards our children and me. Allow him to change for the better and remove any worries and anxieties in his heart. Amen.

When you pray for your angry husband, be prepared for the consequences and challenges that may arise. For example, if you pray for your angry husband, you need to be patient with him. The peace and change you desire for your husband will not happen overnight, so be patient. Also, have a strong heart. The road ahead will be rocky, so not only will your relationship be tested, but also your faith in God. As God works on your husband, never lose hope, for God is always working for your ultimate prosperity.

Below are some prayers you can say to help with an angry husband:

Pray For Peace

Even though your husband might be angry all the time, at the end of the day, you likely wish that there was peace between you two. With peace present, your relationship can continue growing as you work towards a better future.

Remember the lesson in Matthew 19:6: As you took your vow, you became one with your husband and with God. Also, think of Ephesians 4:2-3: As Christians, we must demonstrate patience and forgiveness to one another in love and always seek peace.

“Heavenly Father, I pray for my husband to always seek peace in our marriage. Forgive him, O Lord, for he has sinned in our marriage by letting his heart be filled with anger and hate. I pray that you will cleanse my husband’s heart to follow Your will and to be a more patient, forgiving husband who seeks peace always. Our marriage must be harmonious and filled with love, as we are one with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

Pray For Husband To Stand Strong Against The Evil One

A man full of anger in his heart is shaped by both the Evil One and the world. Despite how much you plead with your husband to be less angry, it’s futile when he doesn’t care to listen to you. Instead, he wants to listen to what the world has to say. Therefore, instead of fighting your husband all the time, pray for him to have a strong heart and not be tempted by the urges of the devil.

The Bible states in Hebrews 12:7 that God treats us like His children, so you must discipline yourself and endure everything around you.

“O Lord, protect my husband from trouble wherever he may be, and keep evil far away from him. You are his protector, and he will always seek You to help him fight off and endure all the temptations around him. O Father, fill my husband with Your love, faithfulness, mercy, and goodness each day so that he will not fear whatever might rise against him. Strengthen his heart in all ways, O Lord, so that he may learn to discipline himself and endure the challenges You have set for him. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

Pray For My Husband To Heal From His Past Pains

Your husband’s past may be the cause of his anger. Being haunted by his past can be traumatizing, especially if it caused him to develop such anger in his heart. For that reason, you need to be understanding towards your husband because he has clearly been battling something for a long time alone. Now that he has you, it will be challenging for him to change and forget the past right away. Hence, you must remind your husband to forget everything and seek out a fresh beginning, just like in Isaiah 43:18 -19. The past has no power over him, and he can let go of it because he has been renewed by God’s love and redeeming grace.

“Father, I pray that You will help my husband forget the things in his past and help him to press forward, with the knowledge that his hopes and future are in Your hands. Remind him, O Lord, not to dwell on past hurts and painful memories but to instead forget them as he seeks a new beginning. O Lord, heal my husband’s broken heart, wash away all his pain, and renew his heart with joy, peace, and love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

Pray For Patience

Patience is the key to avoiding anger, for with patience, you’ll learn to calm yourself and think things through before letting your emotions take control. Based on Proverbs 19:11, patience comes from wisdom; overlooking any offense is a sign of your goodness and glory.

“God, I pray that my husband will not let his emotions control him. I ask that he be patient with great understanding and not exhibit quick-tempered or foolish behavior. It is my prayer that he will reflect on all his actions and be able to realize all his wrongdoings. I hope he will reflect Godly patience towards our children and me by allowing patience to make its way within his heart. When someone upsets him, let him practice patience instead of reacting in anger. This I pray, Amen.”

Pray That He Remains In Control

Having complete control over everything in your life will lead to less anger and frustration. When you feel confident that everything is going well, there is nothing to worry about. That is why it’s of great importance as a Christian that you allow God to take full control over everything. God knows what you are doing, whether in the past, present, or future.

According to Isaiah 55:8-9, it is certain that God knows what he’s doing and that His viewpoint on what we should do may be different from ours.

“Heavenly Father, my husband’s anger is the result of not being in control of everything. Please make him aware of and trust that You are in complete control of all his life’s details. Remind him, O Lord, to control his temper and not lead him off course. This will lead him to what You have planned for him, which is to prosper, even if he’s not in control of everything. Let him see that the circumstances happening in his life are not by mere coincidence but part of Your plans. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

Pray For His Temper

Since your husband will be angry most of the time due to his hot temper, it might also be the cause of most of your fights. There will be things that happen in your marriage where his temper boils over and leads to him getting angry with you. His lack of patience and understanding causes him to be frustrated and upset, triggering him to become angry.

Based on Proverbs 15:18, when you are hot-tempered, you stir up conflict, but if you are patient, you’ll be able to calm a quarrel.

“Heavenly Father, forgive my husband during the times when he was led by anger, malice, wrath, or fury. O Lord, help my husband realize that getting angry and letting his emotions get the best of him, and losing control is not the solution either. It is also not the most appropriate response to solving a situation. Father, fill him with Your Spirit so that he’ll desire to have self-control and long to be more like You, Lord, and be able to express more love instead of anger. Help him approach every situation with godly wisdom and a calm head. All this for Your glory, Lord. Amen.”

Pray For Change

The change you seek in your husband will not happen right away, for change takes time and patience. That is why it is vital that you will support him as his spouse in his desire to change. In addition, you should pray to God to help him as well. For once your husband experiences God’s presence, He will slowly move your husband and make him see, speak, and act according to His ways.

Based on Colossians 3:8, as you are free from sin, you must get rid of it and no longer live within it.

“O Father, I pray that my husband will get rid of all the anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from his lips. May he only be able to do this through the work of Your Spirit in his heart. Therefore, I entrust my husband to You; let Your will be done in his life. Help him realize that with the changes he brings about, both of us can live in harmony, thus ensuring that our marriage will last forever. Father, use me as a tool to bring such a change to my husband’s life. This will ensure that our relationship with each other remains strong and that our love for each other will rekindle, just as it did before. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

Conclusion

It can be tough living with an angry husband, but as his wife, you should be patient and understanding. His anger can be the result of past pain and the devil urging him in the wrong emotional direction. By praying to God, you are showing how much you love and support your husband. This will encourage him to practice more self-control and realize the need to change so that your relationship with each other becomes harmonious again. Take note, though, that the change you seek will take time, so be patient as God works His way through your husband’s life.
