Prayer for my husband to Get Closer to God

To have a spouse who prays for you and desires for you to grow closer to God is one of the greatest blessings in life. It shows that your husband or wife truly cares about your soul for eternity and not just your physical life here on earth. As you are here looking for a prayer for your husband to grow closer to God, know that the Heavenly Father is pleased with your desire and that He wants the same for your husband.

As a wife, this is how you can pray for your husband to get closer to God.

Heavenly Father, I lift to you my husband. Thank You for loving him constantly and being faithful to him in all facets of his life. May he see how much You love Him and experience the depths of Your warm embrace, value for Him, and unconditional love through Christ Jesus. I pray that You encounter him in his dreams or through people who may share the Gospel and the love of God with him. I also pray that You use me more to demonstrate Your love and be Christlike in all my ways so that I can lead him closer to You and the truths of Your Word, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Other than speaking your intentions to God about your desire for your husband’s relationship with the Lord, you may also declare God’s Scriptures about His love, character, and goodness. For instance, Ephesians 3:18 says, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. You can declare the Scripture in this manner:

In Jesus’ name, my husband is able to comprehend how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God’s love is for him. I declare that he is going to experience the love of Christ, which surpasses all knowledge, and he will be made complete with the fullness of God’s life and power flowing inside him. Amen.

Here are more Bible verses that you can pray and declare for your husband’s relationship with God:

As you fervently pray for your husband, you will someday see the fruits of your prayer in his life. No matter how long it may take or whether you see its result or not, don’t quit praying for your husband. Don’t give in to the enemy’s lies and discouragements when things don’t go your way. Always surrender your husband to the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to take charge of your husband’s soul. No one can love your husband as the Lord does, and sometimes we can be impatient, but you must let God handle His relationship with your husband. You must continue to pray in thanksgiving for your husband’s life.
