Share this with someone

Why YOU must pray for your husband

Here is why you should pray for your husband. We are connected to our spouses. Their challenges invariably become ours as well. A prayer is a place of great vulnerability. You are laying yourself bare before God.

To be able to pray effectually, you need to have love and honesty. There is no lie that hides from God’s searching eye. The bible tells us that he looks at the state of our hearts. When your heart is not right, you cannot pray effectively.

Pray for your husband

When you pray for your husband. In that state of your vulnerability, God will begin to open your eyes to his need. Prayer allows you to see things about him that you would otherwise never considered. Praying for your husband eliminates strife within your heart.

We know from Proverbs 31 that this is a role that the wife ought to play. You propel his success in the prayer closet before he even steps out to chase his dream. This is something that will certainly transform your home and shake up your marriage. This post will cover prayer points and declarations that you can make for your husband.

Priest of the House

Ephesians 5

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.

Declaration: 

My husband loves me as Christ loves the church. He cares for me physically and spiritually. He brings no stain or blemish onto me. He supports and guides in pursuit of holiness. He loves me as he loves his own body!

In a world in which the roles have been largely reversed, it is refreshing to see that the view that God has for marriage is not one of suppression or oppression. It is one of co-labouring. 

  • Be led by God (earthly wisdom/Unless the builder)
  • Raise him as a man of prayer
  • Spiritual growth

Prayer

Father, I thank you for my husband. I thank you because you are making him a man of great faith. He is a man of prayer. Lord, I pray that you would lead him as he leads his household. May he be a leader that is a servant to you and to those he serves, as Christ was to the church. We pray for spiritual growth oh Lord. He will not be stagnant, but progress from milk to meat and continue to grow in spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen

pray for your husband to be a leader

He Constantly Seeks You

Declaration:

My husband seeks the Lord at all time and in things. He will not walk in paths that you have not ordered.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

  • Placing your will before his and mine.
  • May he always seek your face, and find you.
  • He shall not be moved unless you ordain it.

Prayer

Lord I bless your name for my husband. Thank you for allowing him to seek you, while you can still be found. May my needs and my will never be placed ahead of yours in his life. May his needs and desires never be placed ahead of your will for his life. He will be a rock for me and for his family. We are building on the rock that is Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen
