Fellowship is essential to the life of every believer, as it is an opportunity to encourage other followers of Jesus ( Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thes. 5:11). Fortunately, God has given us a day where we can praise and worship Him as a body of Christ. A Sunday prayer is the answer if your husband is unmotivated to go to church. You can utter this short prayer for your spouse:
Heavenly Father, prepare my husband’s heart as we go to church today. Remove all distractions in his mind. I rebuke the unbelief, condemnation, and guilt in his life, in Jesus’ Name! As the preacher releases Your Word, open my husband’s heart for new revelations. For this, I pray, Amen.

How do I bless my husband before going to church?
Going to church contributes to the spiritual growth of every Christian. It is where we learn more about God and rest in His presence. However, preparation is vital to receive God’s love and guidance with genuine hearts. Edifying your husband before going to church will prepare his heart and mind.
Encourage your husband
Words are powerful. They can either break or motivate a person. According to (A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Proverbs 27:15), a nagging wife brings torment to his husband. If your husband doesn’t want to go to church, encourage him rather than fault-finding. Look at him as someone who also needs God’s grace.

Speak to him with words that give life. Tell him how valuable and wonderful he is in God’s sight. A word of encouragement can brush away feelings of guilt and condemnation. See your husband as God sees him so that you can appreciate him more. Encouraging words will undoubtedly flow out of your mouth.
Remind him of God’s faithfulness throughout the week
Difficult circumstances can create doubt in one’s heart. If your husband is struggling with unbelief, remind him of how faithful God has been to your family. Remember God’s provision, blessings, and protection throughout the week. Speak all the promises God has in your life and hold on to them.
Remembering God’s faithfulness will release faith into your husband’s heart. He will become more expectant and excited before you go to church. It will also prepare his heart to receive the good things that God has prepared for him.
Praise and worship God early in the morning
Praising and worshiping God early in the morning creates a peaceful atmosphere for the body and mind. It is like sweet perfume, dissipating in every corner and bringing fragrance to your soul. The joy that praise and worship bring is also contagious. It can calm those who are troubled and weary.
When you wake up, invite your husband to praise and worship the Lord. You can also play Christian songs as you prepare to go to church. This will surely uplift his heart, preparing him for the move and the Word of God.
Pray for your husband
Making petitions to the Lord through prayer will bless your husband for the day. Whatever is troubling or hindering him, ask God for help. The Lord will surely answer your prayers. Here is a Sunday prayer for your husband:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your grace and faithfulness throughout the week. Thank You for your provision, healing, favor, and protection. I praise You for your love, grace, and mercy towards my family, especially my husband.
Lord, I lift my husband to You. Clear his mind and heart from worry, anxiety, and unbelief. Fill him with joy so that he can praise and worship You wholeheartedly. If he has sinned, remind him of your forgiveness. Remind him of your Blood spilled on the Cross to take away all our sins (Matt. 26: 27-28). I rebuke the voice of guilt, condemnation, and shame in his life, in the mighty Name of Jesus!
As we listen to your Word, open my husband’s heart for Your revelation. Guide him, Father, so that he may lead our family according to Your will. Renew his strength with Your presence. Fill his heart and mind with peace that surpasses human understanding (Phil. 4:7). Prepare our lives as we praise and worship You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
How do I end the week with my husband on a Sunday?
Distractions can easily obscure the Word of God implanted in your husband’s heart. Prevent this by properly ending the week with your partner. Here are some activities you can do after going to church:
Discuss how the Word of God has an impact on your life
Once the Sunday service is over, you can share what God revealed in your lives. By meditating on God’s Word, you will experience a renewal of strength. Also, sharing can remind both of you about the promises of God in your family. You can ask your children what lessons they learned from the preaching. They can also share how they might apply them to their daily lives.
Through this activity, all family members can reflect on God’s Word. Your husband will also find the strength to face the week with courage and hope through this activity.
Forget your work for a moment and spend time with your family
Sundays are not only spent with the Lord but also with your family. Encourage your husband to put away his phone for a moment. If possible, discourage him from making business calls or anything that involves work. Instead of going home right away, you can eat together in a restaurant or take a walk in the park.
Pray for your husband before the day ends
Before the day ends, pray for your husband so that he can face the week with renewed strength. Here is a prayer you can utter before Sunday ends:
Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your goodness in our family. Thank You for Your Word that strengthens our faith and renews our minds. I praise You for Your faithfulness throughout the week. As this day ends, guide us along our paths, especially my husband. Plant in his heart the seed of hope, peace, and love.
Let the Word that he received from You today come to life. As he faces obstacles, remind him of Your loving mercy and faithfulness. Give him rest in Your presence and guide him to the path of righteousness. Whatever he does, let it prosper, Lord (Ps.1:1-3). Thank you for my husband’s life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
