Prayer for My Husband’s Soul

In this article we will explore the topic Prayer for My Husband’s Soul. The human soul comprises our free will, emotions, rational thinking and understanding, personality, thoughts, character, and behavior. What you feed to your soul daily can impact your eternal life. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 16:26, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” And praying for your husband’s soul every day is powerful and impactful in helping him accomplish the will of God for his life daily.

As a wife, you can pray for your husband’s soul in this manner:

Heavenly Father, thank You for my husband’s life, a man with a beautiful soul. He is filled with Your kindness and goodness, and his life blesses everyone he encounters. You fill his soul with the wonders of heaven and touch him with the warmth of Your love. I bless him from the inside and out. May You continuously fill him with life, compassion, mercy, and grace through Christ Jesus. Amen.

It is vitally important to feed our soul daily with heavenly things and the Word of God so that everything in our thoughts, emotions, and character are aligned to God’s will and in sync with the Holy Spirit. So, when you pray for your husband’s soul every day, you are commanding and declaring alignment to the will of God, and he is able to do what the Father has called him to do. You can also pray for your husband’s soul by declaring God’s Word of Promise over him. For instance, you can declare Psalm 103:1 and Matthew 22:37 in this manner:

Scriptures:

Psalm 103:1 

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Matthew 22:37 

 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Prayer:

In Jesus’ name, my husband loves the Lord with all his heart, soul, and mind. His soul continually blesses the Lord with all that is within him. Praises and adorations to God never leave him, for he loves God above all else. Amen.

How do I pray over my husband’s soul?

As we have listed above in some of the scriptures, you can pray for your husband’s soul; you can come to the Father as you are and intercede for your man with all your heart. The Lord is pleased when couples pray for one another, and as you are here interceding for your husband, know that the Father is pleased with you, and He is here to answer your prayer for your partner.

There are many ways that you can pray over your husband’s soul.

1. You can pray in authority and declare God’s Word.

When your husband’s soul is under spiritual attack, it is effective to pray with authority and declare the best weapon, which is the Word of God. You can declare Psalm 121:7.

In Jesus’ name, the Lord protects my husband from any evil spirit and preserves his soul from danger. My man always keeps his eyes on the Lord Jesus, the Author and Finisher of his faith! Amen.

2. You can pray thanksgiving and praises unto the Lord for your husband’s soul.

One of the ways to bless your husband’s soul is by giving thanks and praises unto the Father for it. You can pray in this manner:

Heavenly Father, thank You for creating such a wonderful soul on earth, my husband. You fearfully and wonderfully made him. Before the foundations of the world, You already knew him. Thank You for choosing me to be the woman beside him. I am truly blessed by his life and honored to be his wife in Jesus’ name. Amen.

3. You can ask for a prayer request for your husband’s soul.

Philippians 4:6 says, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” 

If you have any request unto the Lord for your husband, just come as you are and do not be anxious about anything. For instance, you can ask for God’s wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to come upon your husband. Here is a prayer based on Proverbs 2:10-11:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being generous and kind to me as I pray for my husband. Whatever I ask according to Your will, You hear and answer me. I pray that You continually give my man godly wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of Your plans, will, and purpose for his life. May Your Word sink deeply into his heart and grow with everlasting fruit in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

4. You can magnify God’s goodness and faithfulness upon your husband’s soul.

It can be tempting to feel overwhelmed by situations that you and your husband may be facing. But when you magnify God above all else and declare his faithfulness and goodness upon your husband’s soul rather than the current situation or his responses, you are praying for God’s will and alignment to come upon your home and marriage. You can pray in this way:

Thank You, Father, for blessing me with a righteous man of God as a husband. You have blessed him with the heart like Jesus Christ and always protected him against all evils. You never leave him or forsake him, even when times are tough and challenging. I glorify You in his life and I bless him from head to feet, from the inside and out in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You can lay your hands over your husband as you pray for him, whether he is awake or asleep. As you partner with the Holy Spirit in praying for your husband daily, you’ll find it to be such a great adventure to pray and intercede for your man. You are never alone as you pray because you always have the Holy Spirit praying with you, for you, and never against you.

May the Lord bless your marriage and your husband as you pray to bless his soul in Christ Jesus.
