As with other relationships, communication is vital to build a stronger bond. We become more intimate with the Lord by devoting our time to Him in prayer. Prayer is when we go to our secret place, praising and worshiping His Name (Matt. 6:6). Praying also allows us to pour our hearts into the only One who can comfort us. If your husband refuses to pray with you at night, ask the Lord’s help in this matter through this prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for allowing us to grow closer to You. Touch my husband’s heart and rekindle his relationship with You, Father. Help him approach Your throne of grace with confidence (Heb. 4:16). I renounce condemnation and discouragement in his heart, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

What can I pray for my husband at night?
Praying for your husband at night will prepare him to face each new day with faith and hope. By praying together, you grow deeper and stronger in your relationship with the Lord (Prov. 8:17). Prayer can also strengthen your relationship with your spouse. You can lead the prayer if your husband doesn’t know how to pray. Here are some prayers to declare for your husband at night:
Prayer for protection
As you pray, don’t forget to declare protection over your husband. The enemy wants to harm us, even while we are sleeping. However, with God’s protection, there’s nothing the enemy can do. We must remember that the God in us is greater than he in the world (1 John 4:4). Let the Lord protect your husband even while he sleeps. Declare this prayer for your spouse:
Father in heaven, thank You for keeping my husband safe throughout the day. May You continually protect him, even while he sleeps. Protect him against accidents, disasters, and crimes. Let the Blood of Jesus cover him from head to toe, keeping him safe from all danger. I renounce the enemy’s evil plans against my husband’s life, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Prayer for good sleep
Many people nowadays cannot sleep well because they don’t have peace of mind. Often, their minds are bombarded by thoughts and distractions, but the Lord offers us rest in His presence (Matt. 11:28-30). In Him, we can surrender our tired bodies and weary souls. If your husband is struggling to get good sleep, here is a prayer that can help him:
Dear Lord, I praise You for Your goodness in our lives. I pray that You will grant my husband a good night of sleep. Let his tired body and weary soul rest in Your presence, Lord. I rebuke negative thoughts, distractions, and worries that attempt to steal his peace, in Jesus’ Name! I declare good sleep to my husband throughout the night. Amen.

Prayer for guidance
If your husband experiences confusion and uncertainty, don’t hesitate to ask for God’s guidance. Although we have many plans of our own, we must trust and depend on Him at every step (Prov. 3:5-6). Thus, we must seek His wisdom, especially when making decisions. When God guides your husband, you can expect everything to turn out fine. Utter this prayer for your spouse:
Heavenly Father, grant my husband Your guidance so that he may see Your perfect will for him. Fill him with wisdom from You and the knowledge of what he must do. If he is experiencing confusion, I renounce it, in Jesus’ Name! I rebuke the spiritual deafness and dullness that prevent him from hearing Your voice. Amen.

Prayer for good health
Does your husband have ailments? Remember that the Lord who heals is always on your side (Jer. 17:14). Sickness robs us of our peace and limits us from doing the things that God wants us to do. Instead of worrying about your husband’s health, you can pray for him and declare healing over his life. Below is a prayer you can speak over your husband:
Almighty God, I pray for my husband’s health. Heal him from all the pain and illness that he is experiencing. I renounce all the sickness in his body right now, in Jesus’ Name! Grant him good health so that he can live his life with joy. I cover my spouse with the precious Blood of Jesus, protecting him against all disease and illness. Amen.
Prayer for strength
Although your husband might not say it, there are moments when he feels weak. This is not only physical tiredness but also weariness of his soul and spirit. Besides the encouraging words, you can help your spouse by praying for him (James 5:16). Speak this prayer over his life and expect God to provide him strength:
Heavenly Father, You can see what my husband is going through. Grant him strength in every area of his life. Help him continue the race of life and live with hope forever in his heart. Let Your love overflow in his life, restoring his lost strength. I renounce discouragement and stagnation, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.
Prayer for humility
As the Scriptures say, God resists the proud but shows favor to the humble (James 4:6). He wants us to live a life that shows humility, acknowledging His sovereignty in our lives. Without humility, we cannot expect God to exalt us. If your husband is struggling to live a humble life, declare this prayer of humility over him:
Dear God, grant my husband a humble heart that acknowledges Your sovereignty in his life. May he recognize that every good thing in his life is only possible because of Your goodness. Teach him to praise You daily, giving You all the glory and honor. I renounce pride and arrogance in him, in Jesus’ Name! For this, I pray. Amen.
Prayer for obedience
God delights in those who are obedient to Him. Obeying him shows how much we trust Him, despite our current circumstances. To be a godly husband, your spouse must abide by the Lord (John 14:15). He must have a listening heart, one that is willing to surrender and obey God’s will. Ask God to help your husband be obedient to Him through this prayer:
Almighty Father, You are our mighty God—faithful and good forever. Father, grant my husband an obedient heart that is willing to surrender and obey Your will. Help him hear Your voice more. May his delight be in Your presence alone. I renounce disobedience and unbelief, in Jesus’ Name! All the glory and honor belong to You, Father. Amen.
Conclusion
Praying for your husband every night further develops your relationship with the Lord. As you engage in fellowship with God, your marriage will also become stronger. If your husband is struggling with his prayer life, ask the Lord to help your husband improve. You can also pray directly for your husband, declaring blessings over his life before he goes to sleep each night.
