What Are The Things That I Can Pray For My Husband?

One of the most important things you can do for your husband as his wife is to pray for him daily. Talking to God about your husband will help you build a good relationship with God and your husband. As you talk to God daily about your husband, you will get insight into how you can better yourself and how you can be a good and supportive wife.

There are many things you can pray for your husband, such as his relationship with God, his faithfulness toward you, his success in life and the things he does, his health and safety, and his happiness.

Prayer should help you gain confidence in communicating with others. As you grow in self-confidence by communicating with God, you will find it easy to speak to your husband as well.

To have a healthy relationship, communication is essential. This is why we should never keep the things bothering us bottled up inside. If we have a problem speaking to our husbands as we fear they would not understand, talking to God is the best option.

Below is a list of things we should include in our prayer for our husband:

That He Would Be a Man of God

As a Christian, you hope that your husband is a Godly person; that he would seek God first in all things and be an obedient son who does His will. Having a man that fears God will make things a bit smoother, as your husband will have great confidence in himself and you if he believes in God’s words. Based on [But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,[a] and the head of Christ is God. 1 Corinthians 11:3], Jesus is the head of our husband, and he is our head. This means we must always prioritize God above all things.

“Father, I pray that my husband is a Godly man who honors You above all things. I pray that he puts his trust and faith in You in all the things he does. May my husband grow to learn of Your love for him every day so that his faith in You is so strong that it cannot be shaken by any of the devil’s temptations. May he always be a faithful son who prioritizes Your words all the time. Amen.”

That He Would Be a Loving Husband and Father

Once your husband prioritizes God, he must secondarily put you and your family as his top priorities—to support, love, and provide all daily needs. As husband and wife, you have a responsibility to each other based on [The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.  1 Corinthians 7:3]. So, he must uphold his duty to you rather than seek someone else and be unfaithful. Not only that, but as a father to your children, he must guide them on the right path so they are not lost in this world [Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6].

“Father, I pray that You guide my husband in how to fulfill his duty as a husband and father to our children. Teach him how he can be a great father like You. I pray that my husband’s eyes are fixed on only me so he will not desire another, which may lead to the destruction of our family. May he always be faithful, loving, and supportive toward our children and me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

That He Would Be Successful in Whatever He Does

Knowing that your husband is capable of what he does is great, but what is far more important is that he has integrity in what he does. Knowing that your husband has a stable and honest job that he loves will ease your mind from worrying about him. You know for a fact that your husband will be successful in what he does because he loves it. Based on [I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13], nothing will be impossible for your husband as God strengthens him.

“Father, continue to guide my husband in the things he does. Give him godly wisdom in making the right choices in his life that can affect our family. Guide him to the right path, where he needs to be, and is not distracted by any temptation of the enemies.

Father, I thank you for blessing my husband with the skills he possesses so he can do what he loves. Not only does he enjoy his work, but he is also able to fulfill his duty to us by providing us with our daily needs. May You continue to bless him in his work, and someday his superiors will see his achievement and promote him. I pray that You’ll continue to be with my husband with every step he takes in his life’s journey. Please continue to fill him with Your wisdom and guidance. To God be the glory forever and ever, Amen.”

That He Would Be Protected from Harm

As a wife, you may fear days when your husband might not be able to come home to you; especially if your husband’s job requires him to be in a dangerous situation. However, as long as we have faith in God. We know that God would keep him safe in all situations. Based on [Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. Psalm 16:1], God is our safest refuge, and we should always turn to Him.

“Father, keep my husband safe and sound all the time. I know that as long as You are there by his side, no attempts of the devil can ever harm him. He will always be able to come home to me and our children in one piece. My children and I will always be able to give him a warm embrace every time he comes back from his destination.

Father, wherever my husband may be, I pray that You will send Your Holy Angels to protect him from any accident or calamity. Light his path to keep him away from anything that could lead him to danger. May the people around him not lead him into any dangerous situations. And if my husband is in a bad situation, I pray that You will not forsake him or leave him alone, for You are his greatest refuge. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

That He Would Be Healthy in Body, Mind, and Spirit

In our prayers, we should always consider our husband’s health. Not only their physical health but their mental and spiritual health as well—that they would be free from all kinds of sickness and disease and able to find peace of mind. And most importantly, we pray that they have healthy spirits. No matter how difficult the circumstances may be, as long as one has a positive attitude and determination, nothing is impossible The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? [The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? Proverbs 18:14].

“Father, protect my husband from any sickness and disease out there. The world right now is full of viruses because of mankind’s wrongful ways. I pray that You will shield him with Your armor as he faces what lies ahead.

Father, I pray that my husband will seek You during difficult times so he may find the solution to his problems. May he be stress-free against all worries in his daily life. May all the things he worries about be answered as long as he puts his faith in You. Remind him, Father, that You don’t let the birds go hungry, so how much more those of us whom You love so dearly.

Father, may nothing shake my husband’s spirit. May he always be confident in himself as he knows he is loved by You. Remind him that You have created him in Your image and that You have a great plan prepared for Him. I trust You with all my heart that nothing will ever hurt my husband, for You love him dearly. Amen.”

That He Will Be Happy and Fulfilled in Life

Knowing that her husband is happy is a wife’s greatest achievement. It means he is fulfilled in life, and as a wife, you were able to support him in achieving such a milestone. You should always pray to God that your husband is able to reach his dreams, for his dreams are not only for himself but include you and your children. God has always kept to His word and has never failed, based on Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled. [Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled. Joshua 21:45].

“Father, I thank You and glorify Your name, for You have been kind to my husband. You have always fulfilled Your promises to him. He is living his life full of happiness as he reaches the goals You have set out for him. Father, continue to guide my husband in the path he needs to take to fulfill Your plans for him. We bring You all the glory and praise. Amen.”

Conclusion

No matter what those things are, we need to pray for our husbands. What is important is that we pray daily to God about them. It doesn’t matter if those things are superficial or not, what is important is that our prayer comes from our heart. Your husband’s happiness and success in life will also lead to your and your children’s happiness. So, be thankful for the man God has sent into your life, as he is one of God’s plans in leading you to a prosperous life.
