Prayer For My Husband To Start His Day

Before your husband goes to work or starts his activities for the day, you should pray for him. Asking for God’s guidance and strength can help your husband face the day with greater ease. The enemy will try everything to hinder him from fulfilling God’s will through pressure and intimidation, but as you pray for your spouse, expect the Lord to keep him safe (The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. Ps. 41:2):

Heavenly Father, guide and protect my husband today. Let him experience Your everlasting love. Remind him of Your faithfulness and goodness whenever he finds himself in trouble. Protect him wherever he goes, and let peace fill his heart and mind. Thank You for everything, Lord. Amen. 

How do I pray for my husband to start his day?

The Lord loves us so much that He is concerned about every area of our lives. Therefore, you must not hesitate to offer your petitions to the Lord, no matter how small or big you think they are (Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Phil. 4:6). As you pray, believe with all your heart and expect that you will receive blessings and answers from Him. If you are wondering what you can pray for your spouse, here are some prayers to guide you:

1. Pray for favor

One of the things you can pray for your husband before he starts each day is God’s favor. Whether your husband works in the office, runs his own business, or pursues his passions, the Lord will prosper him. Favor is the total dependence on the grace of God. He can open opportunities for us that are beyond our imagination (But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor. 2:9):

Father in heaven, I ask Your favor for my husband’s life as he starts his day. Whatever he does, let it prosper. May he be favorable in Your sight and the sight of all men. Give him wisdom and teach him all of Your ways, Lord. When faced with pressure and trouble, remind him of Your faithfulness and goodness. Help my spouse depend on You alone and not on his strength. For this, I pray. Amen.

2. Pray for protection

Anything can happen, so you must ask God to protect your husband every day ( Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. Ps. 138:7). Besides his body, ask God to protect your husband’s heart and mind. The enemy will try to feed his mind with lies and confusion, leading to doubt, fear, and condemnation. Declare protection over your spouse with the prayer below:

Almighty God, protect my husband as this new day starts. Be his refuge and strong tower wherever he goes. I renounce accidents, disasters, and sicknesses, in Jesus’ name! I declare all the plans of the enemy against my husband to be null and void. Strengthen every part of his body so that he may do Your will, Lord. 

Besides his body, I also declare protection over his mind and heart. Don’t let the enemy poison his mind with ungodly and deceptive thoughts, Lord. Instead, remind my husband of Your Word, especially when he is in trouble. May the desires of his heart be aligned with Your will so that he may glorify You, Father. For this, I pray. Amen. 

3. Pray for guidance

If we want to see the will of God unfold in our lives, we must ask for His guidance every day. He will lead us on the path of righteousness (Ps. 23:3), preventing us from getting lost. Also, ask God to guide your husband in deciding for himself and the family. Below is a good way to pray for guidance:

Almighty Father, guide my husband as he starts the day. Direct him to the path of righteousness so that he may walk according to Your will. Grant him a heart that is willing to submit to You and obey Your instructions. If he is confused, remind him of Your Word and bring clarity to his mind. Help him rely on Your ways, Father. All the glory belongs to You. Amen.

4. Pray for joy

The Lord commands us to rejoice always (1 Thes. 5:16). Unlike happiness, joy does not depend on our current situation. We can experience it even during troubled times. It comes from knowing that our God loves us unconditionally, no matter what happens. Receiving God’s love is enough to fill our hearts with joy. Ask God to help your spouse experience joy in His presence:

Abba Father, fill my husband’s heart with joy as this new day starts. Let Your love overflow in him, driving away all his fear, insecurity, and unbelief. Teach him to fix his eyes on You alone, even during adversity. When he feels lonely and sad, remind him that You will never leave nor forsake him. Thank You for the faithfulness and goodness in our lives, Father. Amen. 

5. Pray for peace

Lastly, declare peace for your husband as each new day unfolds. The enemy will try to steal the peace in our hearts and minds through anxieties, worries, and insecurities, so you must ask the Lord to grant your husband peace that surpasses human understanding (Phil. 4:7). Peace does not come through the absence of obstacles, but by believing that God cares for us. Here is a prayer of peace you can utter for your spouse:

Heavenly Father, grant peace for my husband today. Guard his mind and his heart with Your Word. Whenever fear overwhelms him, remind him of Your faithfulness and goodness. Teach him to trust in You alone and show him what You can do in his life. May the peace that surpasses understanding be upon him every day. Thank You, Lord. Amen. 

Conclusion

As you bless your husband through prayer, expect great things to come his way (Ps. 126:2-3). The Lord will grant him favor, protection, and peace. Let your spouse experience God’s presence as each new day starts. Spend every day joyfully, knowing that the God who created heaven and earth is on your side.
