One of the basic foundations of marriage is trust. Earning someone’s trust is possible only if there is honesty. But what if your husband lies? Is there a chance to save the marriage? Fortunately, there is nothing impossible for our God! Although He hates a lying tongue (Prov. 6:16-19), He can transform a person’s heart. Below is a prayer for a husband who lies:
Father in Heaven, today I surrender my husband to Your hands. There is no way that I can stop him from lying. But You are the One Who can transform a person’s heart. I renounce all the lies in his heart and mind, in Jesus’ Name! I declare the Spirit of truth to be upon him. Amen.
Prayer for a Husband That Lies
How do you deal with a husband who lies?
Sometimes, it is easy to point a finger when someone lies. As children of God, we are called to be lovers of truth. Even the Lord sees lying as an abomination (Prov. 12:22). However, there is a proper way to deal with people who lie. Like us, they also need God’s grace and mercy. Here are some ways to deal with a husband who lies.
Forgive your husband
Although your husband lies, don’t let anger set into your heart. Forgive your husband as God forgives you (“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” – Luke 6:37). Look at him with mercy and hope. If he hasn’t received Jesus Christ as his Savior, accept the truth that only God can change him. If your spouse is already a Christian like you, remind him of how God hates lying. If he doesn’t listen to you, don’t argue. Let God deal with him.
Prayer for a Husband That Lies
Speak the truth in love
If your husband always lies, speak the truth in love. Tell him how dangerous and stressful it is to lie every single time. Remind him how lying can hurt you and affect your marriage. You can also influence your husband by living in truth. When you live in God’s truth, there will be light in your life. Peace, courage, and purity shall come forth. Undoubtedly, your husband will desire to live in truth.
Pray for your husband
Being lied to by the people we love hurts. However, you should not give up on your husband. Fight for him through prayer. Remember that the enemy is not flesh and blood but the principalities and the rulers of the darkness (Eph. 6:12). Instead of arguing with him, ask for the presence of God and start spiritual warfare.
How do I pray for a difficult husband?
As Christians, God gave us a powerful weapon called prayer. Through Jesus Christ, we have the authority to speak life, healing, and deliverance. As we pray, we must believe with all our hearts that God has already answered our petitions. If you don’t know how you can pray for your difficult husband, take a look at these prayers to help you out:
Prayer for Transformation
The truth is, we don’t have the power to transform people. Only God can change another’s heart as He changed ours. You don’t have to use your strength when dealing with your difficult husband. The best thing that you can do is to entrust his transformation to God. Here is a prayer for transformation:
Abba Father, change my husband’s heart as You had changed my heart. Turn his heart of stone into flesh (Ez. 36:26). Break the spirit of pride, lies, and wickedness in his life, in Jesus’ Name! Humble him, O Lord, and show him that You are the true and the living God. Open his heart to You, Lord. For this, I pray, Amen.
Prayer for Healing
Did your husband have a traumatic or abusive childhood? Some people have a problematic attitude because of their past experiences. Because of the pain they experienced, their hearts have become calloused. Cruelty and selfishness are their self-defense. If your husband is hiding the unforgiveness in his heart, pray for healing right now:
Heavenly Father, let Your love be poured into my husband’s heart. Heal him from his painful past and reveal to him Your everlasting love. Only Your touch can heal the scars in his life. Through the Name of Jesus, I renounce the bitterness and the unforgiveness in my husband! I declare healing from all emotional hurts! Thank You for Your goodness, Father. I receive my husband’s healing. Amen.
Prayer for Freedom
If your husband cannot stop bad habits and harmful behavior, you can ask God for his freedom. Remember, Jesus Christ is our Deliverer. He can break the chains and the bondage in your husband’s life. Believe in what God can do and claim your husband’s freedom through this prayer:
Almighty God, You are our freedom. Today, I break the yoke of sin that is on my husband, in Jesus’ Name! I cast out the unclean spirits upon his life. Set him free from the bondage of lying. Let Your presence pour out to him right now and change his life. I praise Your Name, Lord. Amen.
Prayer for a Husband That Lies
Can prayer change my husband?
Praying for your husband can bring about tremendous change for him. Jesus Christ even showed us the importance of prayer and how it can free people from bondage. If you are in doubt, check on what God says about the power of prayer:
Prayer can deliver those who are struggling with sins
In 1 John 5:16, John the Beloved tells us to pray for the people committing sins so they can have life. As you intercede for your husband, you are declaring life upon him. Although you cannot see it, God is doing something in his life. One day you’ll be surprised to find that he is already free from his addiction to lies. He may also ask you how he can receive Jesus Christ in his life.
Prayer is powerful and effective
The prayers of the righteous can bring healing to others (James 5:16). In fact, uttering a prayer is more effective than any medicine in this world. As you pray for your husband, remember that God can heal his heart. If your husband has issues because of his past, continue to declare emotional healing. Indeed, the Lord will answer your petitions.
Prayer can drive out evil spirits
If you check out Mark 9:29, you find that Jesus told us that prayer could drive out evil spirits. Through the power of God, there’s nothing that prayer can’t do. Never hesitate to cast out the demons in your husband’s life. As you speak the Name of Jesus in prayer, deliverance is at hand. Expect your husband’s freedom and transformation.
God can see the pain you experience because of your husband’s lies and difficult attitude. But never lose hope. The Lord can comfort you, and He can transform your husband. Trust the Lord with all your heart, and keep praying until God’s presence changes your partner. Surrender this battle to God’s hands and rest in His peace.
