How to Pray for Your Husband Every Day

As you are here searching for answers about how to pray for your husband, I just want you to know that God is pleased with you. I may not know the situation of your marriage, but God does. He knows everything, and is so proud of you as His daughter and as the wife of your husband. He sees your heart, and He will answer you. To be given a godly husband is one of the greatest blessings in life. You get to have a lifetime partner and companion, pursuing God together all the days of your life. It’s a great privilege to pray for a man of God who inspires you to be a better person every day. If you think your husband does not fit in this context for whatever reason, remember that every husband is a gift from God. There is always hope in Him. The Lord clearly said that nothing is too difficult for Him. And yes, your husband desperately needs your prayers each day, whether he is godly or not. Your prayers can save a soul, and that soul might be your husband, so don’t give up praying. Pray consistently and persistently for him, no matter what.

Additionally, praying the Scripture over your spouse is powerful and effective because you are declaring the very words of God. His Word is His will. When you pray the Word of God, you hit the target right away. With that in mind, whatever your situation might be at home, and whatever you think your husband’s state is physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, be in daily partnership with the Holy Spirit and find a Scripture that fits the situation. Never declare the negatives, but instead speak words of life to your husband’s identity in Christ. You can pray for your husband in this manner:

Heavenly Father, I praise You and thank You for my dear husband’s life. He is a wonderful gift to me and our family. I bless him and hope that Your goodness, favor, good health and blessings will manifest in his life. May Your will be done in his life and may he bring glory to Your name, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

 

It can also be good to pray together with your husband. You may have your own time with God, saying prayers for your husband, but it can be life-changing and powerful when you pray with him together as well. You can let him hear you declare the Word of God over his soul, empowering his inner man, and letting him know your prayers for him. Proverbs 18:21 says that life and death lie in the power of the tongue. As your husband hears you speak life unto him, you will immediately see the change, because words are so powerful.

How can I pray to God for my husband?

As you pray to God, you can begin by praising Him, honoring Him, and magnifying His name. Thank Him for your husband’s life, and tell God how much you appreciate your spouse. There are many things that you can pray to God for regarding your husband:

1. You can pray for your husband’s strength every day.

Real strength comes from God. It is vital for everyday living and fulfilling God’s will for our lives. Without strength physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, it can be difficult to face challenges and spiritual battles in life. That is why it is important to pray to God for your husband’s strength every day, so that he may face challenges and spiritual battles with endurance, perseverance, and the character of God.

2. You can pray for his spiritual walk with God.

It is important to pray for your husband’s spiritual walk with God, his relationship with God, and his hunger for God’s Word and spiritual things, as these are what makes him a godly person, a child of God, and the one whom God has truly made in His image and likeness.

3. You can pray for favor, increase and blessing.

You can also pray for your husband’s favor from God and other people, an increase in his resources, creativity, skills, finances, business success, and blessings that will make him happy. God is a good Father who does not withhold good things from His children.

4. You can pray for his job.

If your husband is currently working, you can pray to God to bless him at his job, and bless the company where he works. Bless your husband’s job and speak life into his goals. If he is searching for a job, declare God’s provision of the perfect job for him. Men are naturally drawn to provide for their family because it is their God-given role as the head of the family. It is important to pray for your husband’s career and ask that God will work in that area of his life.

5. You can pray for his God-given calling.

Whether your husband is in ministry or working a secular job, God has a calling in mind for his life. Wherever God has placed your husband, it is his mission field. Pray to God that your husband will fulfill the will and purpose of God for his life and that he may bring glory to the name of Jesus Christ.

6. You can pray for his salvation.

If your husband has not yet received the Lord Jesus Christ, is not a believer, or rejects the things of God, be patient and continue praying for his soul. Ask the Father to draw him to Jesus Christ, so that he may encounter true salvation in Christ Jesus. Some things take time, so as you allow the Holy Spirit to produce the fruit of God in you for your husband to witness, keep praying for the salvation of his soul.

God always listens to a wife’s prayers for her husband. God delights when couples pray for each other because marriage is a blessing from God. When there is love, unity, and the desire to seek God, the marriage becomes God’s power-house, and He uses the couple for His glory. Moreover, it is also important to pray together with your husband, as mentioned earlier, so that by hearing words of faith that come from your prayers and the Word of God, you may impart it to your husband.

What does the Bible say about praying for your husband?

The Bible says that we are to pray for all the believers and saints in the Kingdom of God (see Ephesians 6:18), which includes your husband. God wants His children to pray for one another, but more importantly, you must pray for your husband as his wife, as that truly is an act of love and service. Jesus Christ also prayed for us and is continuously praying for us (see Romans 8:34) because He loves us. Your prayers for your husband cause heaven to move on his behalf and in his favor, and while you may not know it, your prayers have saved your husband many times from danger, in the same way as when we pray for other believers. That is why God wants you to pray for your husband. He wants to partner with you in fulfilling His will and promises for your spouse as you pray.

Here are some Bible verses that are good to pray and declare over your husband:
