21 Powerful Prayers For Your Husband
Published January 15, 2024
Prayer is a crucial element in a successful marriage. Nothing can break you apart when you put God at the center of your relationship.
Yes, sometimes you ask yourself if this is still worth it. Sometimes, you just wonder whether you should stay or end it all. But such moments are typical in all marriages. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows as what the movies would lead you to believe. All couples go through worse times at some point in their marriage. There are even times when you’ll question whether you made the right decision in marrying him.
This is why, as a wife, you should never underestimate the power of praying for your husband. When you pray for your husband, the Holy Spirit will work through your marriage and enlighten your hearts to see God’s will more clearly. It helps you gain wisdom and clarity of mind to see each other as God wants you to. Praying for your husband is also a way of letting God work through him and fulfill His plans for him and your entire family.
Praying For Your Husband
To help you get started, here are some prayers you can use to pray for every area of your husband’s life.
Prayer for Provision
Dear God,
Your word says that you will provide for our every need. I believe in your promise. Please provide for all of my husband’s needs: physical, spiritual, financial, and emotional. Help him feel your blessings in his life and help him to learn to depend on you for everything. Chase away his worries and teach him that you are faithful to care for our needs. And please help me to do the same, trusting in you more and more. Amen.
Prayer for Protection Against Temptation
Father,
I entrust you my husband, Your unique creation. You’ve promised to fill his soul with what he needs, and I ask You to do just that. Please guard his heart and mind. Protect him from temptation and fill him with the good things he needs so he can become the husband and father you intend him to be. All these I ask in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Prayer of Gratitude
Lord,
I just want to thank You for giving him to me and me to him. You knew what You were doing all along. His traits that used to drive me crazy are now the strengths that fill in where I struggle. His traits that used to seem like weaknesses are now the places You’ve allowed me to shine. We complement each other. When I let You be the glue, we’re stronger together than we ever were apart. I can’t thank you enough for putting my husband in my life. Amen.
Prayer for a Strong Marriage
Lord,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the blessing of marriage. I am so glad you gave me such a wonderful husband, whom I deeply treasure. Please help me never to take him for granted and continue to love him to the best of my abilities. Help me to love him as you love us. God, please bless our marriage in abundance. Help us reflect on your love for us, and help us always seek you first in our marriage. Help us to grow stronger in love each day and always prioritize our marriage. Help us be selfless spouses who seek to bless and give to one another. And help us do all this to your glory, Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Your Husband’s Spirituality
Dear God,
Your mercy and goodness know no bounds. My only prayer is that my husband sees it, too. Please give him eyes to see that You deserve the highest praise. Let him experience Your grandeur and strength. Let him live with great conviction that Jesus Christ has authority over all things on earth and in the spiritual realm. You inhabit the praises of Your people, and I want him to enjoy the comfort and power of Your presence every moment. So, Father, please grant him an irrevocable gift of praising You. Let Your Spirit continually offer up a sacrifice of praise through him so that his lips always acknowledge Your name. Amen.
Prayer for Guidance
Dear God,
Please guide my husband in all that he does all the days of his life. Be with him as he makes big decisions, and help him feel your hand leading in his life. Give him the confidence to make Godly choices and to seek to do your will in everything. If he struggles with a specific issue, please bless him and make his paths straight and clear. May he always make good choices for the betterment of our family. Amen.
Prayer for Emotional Healing
Lord,
I offer this prayer for my husband’s emotional healing. Just as you promised to heal those who lift their burdens to you, please smooth his scars from past hurts and brokenness. Give him the courage to break free from all the painful memories that have kept him in a dark place all these years. May he find total and perpetual healing in Your loving arms. Amen.
Prayer for a Peaceful Marriage
Dear God,
You are the source of peace. Please help my husband and me remember this in our lives and seek your peace every moment. Help us keep your promises when we feel stressed, tired, or anxious. We know you want to give us joy and peace, not fear and worry. Please give my husband your peace throughout his day. Remove concerns and irritations from his mind and allow him to focus on the good things. Help me create a peaceful environment for him and do all I can to promote peace in our marriage and home. Amen.
Prayer for Wisdom in Finances
Lord,
Financial woes are almost always the cause of conflicts in a marriage. Please grant my husband the wisdom to manage the resources with which you have blessed us effectively. May it bring abundance to our home and not cause division. May you also help him, help us, to use it in ways that will bring glory to your name. Amen.
Prayer for Fidelity
Father,
You gave my husband and me to each other. You blessed our union. I know You want it to work even more than we do. Please protect our bond. Keep my husband’s heart and eyes focused on me. Deliver him from temptation and stop any thoughts that might lead him astray. Put a wall around our relationship that keeps it just the three of us. With You in our midst, I know we can face anything. These I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prayer for His Friends
Lord,
Thank you for giving my husband true friends who are ready to stick with him through and through. I pray that You will always provide such encouraging friendships for my husband. I know that he is never alone because You are with him. But I ask for others to speak into his life and sharpen him as he sharpens them. Amen.
Prayer For My Husband In Difficult Times
Dear Lord,
My husband is dealing with an issue right now. You know what it is because you know what we need before asking for it. So I come to you in Faith now, Lord, to ask for your help during this challenging time. Please give my husband your comfort and your peace, as well as your wisdom and strength. He can only overcome this struggle with your help and grace, Lord, so please let him feel your presence and place his trust and dependence on you. Amen.
Prayer for Purity of the Heart
Father,
Please give my husband a pure heart that seeks only You. May he seek to love and trust You with everything he has and is. Protect him from opinions intended to sway him from Your Word. Keep my husband’s heart free of hatred, prejudice, and ill will. Help him see every person’s goodness and focus on them instead of their shortcomings. May he always remain the kindhearted man I know him to be. Amen.
Prayer for Patience
Lord,
Living with me isn’t always fun. Even in the best circumstances, nerves can get rubbed raw. I know I’m not the easiest person to be with. So give my husband Your heart when it comes to me. Let him see me the way You do. Then, when he gets frustrated, fill him with patience. Grant him the wisdom and willingness to understand why I do or say the things I say. And then turn around and do the same for me. May patience reign in our marriage until death do us part. Amen.
Prayer for Strength and Encouragement
Dear God,
Today, I pray for my husband to have the strength to go about his day. Help him to remember that his strength and grace come from you. Help us all remember that all our good gifts come from you, Heavenly Father. When he feels weak, please remind him of your love and support. May he remember my undying love and support when he needs someone to lean on. Let me speak nothing but words of encouragement for him. Help me to be the wife that he needs me to be. Amen.
Prayer For Your Husband to Be a Good Father
Lord,
Thank you for showing us what fatherly love should be. You are the epitome of fatherhood and how fathers should love their children. I humbly ask you to help my husband learn from your parenting example. Please help my husband to grow as a father. May he become more generous, patient, and encouraging, just as you are. Let him know how much we love, trust, and respect him just as you do. Help me become his best partner, too, so together, we can raise our children in your ways. May our children know Your heavenly love personally and experience it through their earthly Father. Amen.
Prayer for a Restoration of Marriage
Lord God, our marriage is now at a difficult crossroads. We can’t move forward without anyone getting hurt, but we refuse to go backward. Our relationship feels broken, and we are drifting farther and farther apart daily. So, we are reaching out to You. Protect us from becoming another divorce statistic. In the name and through the blood of Jesus Christ, we resist the people who want us to end this marriage.
Lord, I come to you with this petition because you have made me one flesh with my spouse and said that no man should come between us. You have connected our two spirits in oneness and cemented them with the bond of Your Holy Spirit. And what God has joined together, we give no room for our enemy to bring division.
Lord, rekindle our love for one another. Give him that understanding wherever my spouse needs understanding to be drawn to you. Teach us to treat one another with dignity, love, and respect. Give us the grace and emotional strength to avoid using anger and hate as a weapon to fight against each other. In the precious and powerful name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.

When you pray for your husband, the Bible can also be a good source of inspiration. I’m not saying using your own words in prayer is wrong.
