Men’s Ministry Prayer Points

Fatherhood

Why prayer for men? Is there a need for prayer points for men? 

Dr Ed Cole said, “Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous.” 

The more the family unit has deviated from Christlikeness, the bigger society’s problems have become. There are so many facets to Christ, that is difficult to define or specify them in their entirety in such a short space.

― Edwin Louis Cole, Maximized Manhood: A Guide to Family Survival

Statistics

Statistics
The Extent of Fatherlessness

There are a few things that we can pray for here. One is the policy. The other is that we would see our community and the church at the forefront of “UBUNTU”, I am because you are! We are trusting God to raise more men to truly take up the mantle of a village raising a child. Not for any reward, but because it is the Lord’s way!

Policy

  • Lord, we pray that you would raise more politicians after your heart into places and offices of influence.
  • We pray that you would cause a shift towards policies that serve our families, not the prison complex, not corporations or the government. 

Step-up/in

  • Lord show me where there is brokenness and how I can help.
  • Highlight children around us that are in need of your love.
  • Grant me the grace to be a city on a hill for children walking in dark places.
  • Raise more fathers for the fatherless.
  • Mentorship in absent father homes

Stewards

Matthew 25:14-30 
Parable of the Three Servants

One of the greatest challenges the church faces today is a lack of stewardship, especially when it comes to finances. The hardest part of this to accept is that the issue starts with the leaders. This tells us that if unchecked, it will become a culture that is passed down to the next generation.

Our consciences are being seared generation after generation until we become unable to see the wrong that is being done. Our role as intercessors is to close the gap between God and his people. We are unwittingly trying to be friends with the world and with God at the same time. We are falling in love with the things of the world while trying to keep hold of God.

Men's Ministry prayer points

As men, we are called to be stewards of our families, our marriages, children and all else that God places in our care. We will answer for how we have used it when we meet our maker. When we begin to openly admit that, Lord we cannot do it without you. Human nature is to serve self. Earthly wisdom is sensual and demonic. God’s strength is then made perfect in our weakness. Father, we need you, perfect your strength in our lives.

Family

The biggest unit that the devil can attack and achieve the greatest impact is that of family. When he hurts family, he hurts generations. This is why it is important to pray for family. 

  • Father, I am grateful for the family that you have entrusted to me. You know why you have chosen to give them to me. Thank you.
  • Grant me the grace to serve them selflessly at all times.
  • Give me wisdom and humility to see my own flaws, that I may better love them.

Marriage

Marriages are the anchor of the unit of the family, as we say a prayer for family, we cannot neglect to pray for marriages. Where marriages are strong and held together, children tend to be raised better, in a more stable environment that enables them to thrive. When marriages are strong man’s purpose is helped along, as is woman’s. When marriages are preserved, communities are better places.

  • Lord, I bless your name for my spouse. I thank you for the purpose that this union carries.
  • Break everything in me that stands against your will for my marriage.
  • Crush everything in me that is not love.
  • Soften my heart, that I may love as you do.
  • Teach me your ways, that I may love my spouse as Christ loved the church.
  • Give me wisdom, strength, foresight and love to enable me to help my spouse achieve their dreams. I don’t want to be a spouse that holds them back. Enable me to enable them.
  • Show me a way to support your purpose for my spouse’s life.

Children

The bible tells us that children are a gift from above, and indeed they are. We know that the Lord gives them to us carrying their purpose. As stewards, we are trusted to best enable that purpose to come to pass. Let us pray for children

  • Lord thank you for the children that you have given me. 
  • Show me how best to support your purpose for them.
  • Open my eyes to their plights and struggles that they would never walk alone or feel alone.
  • Grant me wisdom to teach them your ways.

Finances

The most blatant failure for the modern church is our finances. We have collectively plundered the desperate. Our goal ought to always be to be the best possible stewards of all financial resources that God places into our hands.

  • Open my eyes to recognise every resource that you have put at my disposal.
  • Give me the wisdom to find the best purpose for every resource you have given me stewardship over.
  • Lord while the uses their resources their way, may I use them your way.
  • Grant me wisdom, foresight and strength to best manage your resource. Let my heart not be drawn to the shiny things of this world.

FORNICATION: prayer points for men

The greatest sapping power for men and women is fornication. Sex is such a powerful element of our lives. If not harnessed, we lose our way. Our society is set up in such a way that it has been generally more acceptable for men to live in sinful ways when it comes to sex, more than if women were too. 

1 Corinthians6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

1 Corinthians 7:2  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1 Thessalonians 4:3  For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

  • Father grant us the strength to abstain and flee from fornication.
  • Father instil in us the Spirit of the fear of the Lord to walk circumspectly in the sphere of life.
  • Lord we pray for those who are living in fornication, grant them the strength and ability to repent Lord.
  • Lord we pray for those who have repented from fornication, grant them the ability to overcome sin consciousness. Father overwhelm them with your love and warmth.
  • We pray against stigmatisation against those once involved in fornication, may brotherly love prevail.
  • Lord, we pray for a generation of young men completely sold out to you with an absolute commitment to purity and holiness.
  • Lord we come against the spirits of fornication, grant us strength and ability to resist them.

YOUNG MEN: prayer for men

Titus 2:6  Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.

1 Timothy 6:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

2 Timothy 2:22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

  • Father, we pray for wisdom and a sound mind among young men, grant them the ability to be self-restrained and to behave prudently taking life seriously.
  • We pray that young men aim at and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness (patience), and gentleness of heart.
  • We pray that young men shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness and conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed.
  • Lord grant us vision and may our aspirations and dreams become a reality.
  • Lord grant us foresight and an eye for detail.
  • Lord grant us the ability to deal wisely and circumspectly in the affairs of life.
  • Father, we pray for an increase in understanding of your word and will for our lives. Grant us the ability to be properly attuned to your voice and will for our lives.
  • Father, we pray for an increased fellowship with the Holy Spirit amongst young men.
  • Father grant us the wisdom and ability to find and choose the right life partners. Lord guide our choices along your divine will for our lives.
  • Lord increase in us a hunger to labour in the things of God, Lord raise more labourers amongst young men.
  • Father teach to recognise and answer your call.

HUSBANDS: Men’s ministry prayer points

The purpose of husbands often gets lost in the hassles of day to day lives. It is often lost in expensive weddings and honeymoons. As husbands, we are stewards!

Ephesians 5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.   

Ephesians 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;   

Colossians 3:19  Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter against them.

  • Father, we pray that husbands adhere to the instructions of your word and do the. We pray for success in their homes.
  • Lord grant husbands the ability to love their wives unconditionally.
  • Lord let your love be shed abroad in homes, grant husbands the ability to communicate effectively with their wives.
  • Father, we come against the Spirit of Adultery and break all adulterous relations.
  • Father we speak against divorce let marriages be preserved.
  • Father, we come against alcoholism.

Prayer points for marriages with biblical scripture

Prayer Points for Marriage prayer

Why do we need marriage prayer points?

Along with families, there is a great attack on the institution of marriage. Broken marriages have a far-reaching effect. Statistics show that the current divorce rate in the United States of America is between 40-50%.

The number of marriages is also falling significantly over the last few years. More and more children are being born outside of wedlock. This lack of stability is crippling our societies. You may think that this is a US statistic, but it stretches far and wide. The decline in marriage rates is also mirrored in the UK.

Marriage Stats

UK Marriage Stats

God knows the importance of marriage and designed it to be a cradle for families. We ought to stand up for our marriages.  Mark 10:9 “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” We need more and more men and women to take a stand for their marriages, more and more people to not walk away from their unions, but to seek the Lord’s direction and intervention in their marriages.

In the mighty name of Jesus, Lord we speak your blessing over these prayer points. May your anointing be upon all who will make use of these prayer points. May your presence bring resolution into marriages that are on the rocks today.

Father may more and more marriages be built on the rock that is Christ, instead of the sand that is worldly wisdom. Call back husbands’ hearts to their wives, wives’ hearts to their husbands.

Father, raise more men into true fatherhood as you had intended it in marriages. Every spirit that rises against marriages, the father may you raise a standard against them in Jesus’ name. Amen

Here are our prayer points for marriage. Share them with your loved ones.

Take your concerns to God

I believe if we as a people were able to grasp this simple teaching, many marriages would be saved, many relationships would be repaired. Many men and women across the world are hurting, hurting because of things that were carelessly said, words that were carelessly thrown around.

If I’m speaking to you today, I want you to know that there is healing, there is a balm in Gilead to make your wounded heart whole. That balm is Christ. This message is very personal to me because Lord knows for the better part of my teenage years I spent time actively breaking relationships for minor reason that are insignificant even when I think of them today. Direct your concerns to God. I drew some principles from all this.

  • Never have a relationship outside of God: Regardless of whether it is companionship, friendship or dating. Do not go into any of it without bringing God in with you. God should always be a part of it all. It does not matter if the other person does not believe in God.

Think of it this way, if you are married, when you meet a new friend, they don’t have to like your husband/wife or believe in them. Your husband/wife is a part of you, the bible says 2 become one, which is the way it should be in our marriage to God.

When you take God with you into a relationship with a work colleague you close a door for the devil to place you in temptation for an affair. When you take God with you into a relationship with the company or your boss, you know who it is that you really answer to, regardless of whose name is on the paycheck.

Church five fold ministry
  • Emotions should go through God first: Have you ever said something and then wished you had not said it, perhaps turned around and said “I didn’t mean it.” The sad part is that words, once released can not be taken back.

They sting. Whether it is love, anger or whatever other emotion you may feel towards a person, take it to God first. If your spouse makes you made, do not speak to them about it before you speak to God about it, vent your emotions to God.

When you speak to God he will begin to remind you, that “Vengeance is his” Romans 12:19, “Forgive as the father has forgiven you” Ephesians 4:32. When you vent to the Lord, you become more conscious of things that you would have easily overlooked when talking to the person you are mad at, or the person you are in love with.

  • Get comfortable crying before God: In any relationship you get into, there is always room for hurt. To truly love is to expose your weakness and be at the mercy of the other person. There is nothing more healing than bearing it all to God when you have been hurt when you have been lied to.

Get this, when the Shunammite (2 Kings 4:25-)woman ran to Elijah and was met by his servant, she told the servant that all was well even though her child had died. I learned this from Dr Masiyiwa’s testimony recording, she had been given this child by God.

She had started this with God. God is obligated to fix what he starts with you. She knew it was well because God was the manufacturer, he would honour his warranty. Get comfortable crying before God before you run off crying to man. When your concern reaches God first, he is faithful to go on ahead and deal with the other person before you get to them.

Make a decision today, to never speak to man concerning an issue before consulting God, to never make a decision before consulting him. And finally to never take your concerns before man before taking them before him. Direct your concerns to God.

Father we give you praise for this wonderful teaching, heal our heart today. Grant us grace to start and finish everything with you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

God bless you, share this with someone else who needs to hear this message.

Marriage Prayer: Childhood hurt

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” These are the words of Frederick Douglass. I believe that this is an analogy that applies to women as much as it does to men.

There are so many broken men and women who are being put together with other broken men and women and expected to create strong marriages. Father, heal our homes.

Psalm 34: 4

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

  1. Father, we pray for victims of sexual and physical abuse. Heal them, Lord. Take away the scars and bitterness that have been left by these experiences. May they not be carried into their marriages and relationships.
  2. Lord, we pray for parents and guardians. Give them the wisdom to raise strong men and women.
  3. Lord raise strong marriages among us, marriages that the next generation can look up to and aspire to.
  4. Father, we pray that you would raise mentors for our young generation, to show them the way.
  5. Lord, we pray for broken parents and guardians to have the wisdom to not pass down their own hurt and insecurity to the next generation. Heal them father, as they raise these children.
  6. We pray for children being raised in undesirable situations to be rescued. Make a way for the dear Lord.
  7. Open our eyes to situations where you can use us to be part of the solution. In Jesus’ name.
  8. Give us boldness to walk in your will, and show as well as encourage others how to do the same.

Formation

Our societies are becoming ones without moderation. Marriages are a wonderful thing but are being viewed less and less in that light. By the same token, more and more people are entering this sacred union blindly. Either because of the burden of pressure and expectation that exists within our churches.

The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7 acknowledges the beauty of marriage but also the ease of single life. It is good to be married, but not mandatory. Not all can be single and live a holy life, but neither can all be married. If you desire marriage, that is a beautiful thing. May the Lord deliver that desire to you, in Jesus’ name.

Proverbs 30:18

  1. Father, let the hearts of the wives be consumed with love and passion for their husbands. May husbands be equally consumed with love and passion for their wives.
  2. We speak your love into marriages in their formative stages. We speak direction and wisdom into relationships and courtships as they build towards marriage.

2 Corinthians 6:14

  1. Father, we pray that you would raise more and more God-fearing men and women within the church.
  2. We pray for firm foundations in relationships.
  3. Raise wiser men and women to guide the young lovers.
  4. Open our eyes and guide our choices of mates.

Proverbs 18:22

  1. Father, we pray that you would open our eyes as we seek to find ideal mates.
  2. Give us wisdom to not be swayed by visual desires. There are ways that may seem right to men but will only lead to death. Preserve us oh Lord.

Genesis 2:24

  1. Father, you command a blessing where there is unity. Bring unity into our relationships.
  2. We pray for purpose and a shared vision for couples.
  3. Lord, we pray that couples would well and truly become one. Raise us to value, cherish and to love one another.

Luke 20:34

  1. Lord make us co-guardians of our spouses’ souls. Give us a true desire to lead them in your way.
  2. We will be true stewards of the husband or wife that you give us. To bring the best out of them, as they do for us.
  3. May we love them as you have loved us, without condition but full of sacrifice.
  4. May our eyes be cast on things above, more than things of this earth.

1 Corinthians 7:9

  1. Dear Lord, may our desires for marriage be noble.
  2. Protect us from negative relationships, and protect others from us, where we may be their detractors.
  3. May our shared desires and vision bring us together in Christ and through him.
Prayer for Family: Over 35 Points

Love

Romans 13:8

  1. Lord teach us to love as you do.
  2. May our love be seen in our actions and heard in our words of affirmation to our loved ones.

1 Corinthians 16:14

  1. May our actions be guided love, in all that we do.

Ruth 1:16-17

  1. Lord give us loyal partners to walk through life with, they have become rare.
  2. Grant us grace to go the extra mile for our loved ones.

Romans 12:10

Longevity

With marriages falling apart sooner than ever before, there is a lack of longevity. Our prayer is that the Lord would grant us longevity. Father establish marriages that last long, marriages that are strong and with direction. Let there be marriages that are built on the rock that is Christ. That is our next marriage prayer point.

Proverbs 12:4

  1. Father, we thank you for wonderful wives. We pray for longevity. Grace them in their day to day lives for fruitful and fulfilling marriages.
  2. Grant husbands grace to love and cherish the gift that is their wives.
  3. May no shame be her portion.
  4. She will be a source of pride for her husband and her children, in Jesus’ name.

Proverbs 31:10

  1. Lord give us the grace to pursue a worthy life partner.
  2. Show us value, and make us valuable to potential mates.
  3. Teach us to identify and appreciate one another’s value.

Mark 10:9

  1. Lord, you have brought couples together. We pray that you would keep them together.
  2. Cast away any person that would like to separate marriages.
  3. Any wedges that seek to separate men and women you brought together, let it be removed in Jesus’ name.
  4. No man or woman will separate us! We speak to strength in marriages in Jesus’ name.

1 Peter 4:8

  1. Lord teach us to not dwell on one another’s shortcomings but to love through it all.
  2. We will love fervently, as Christ loved.
  3. May our love cover the faults of our loved ones.

Ephesians 5:21:

  1. Lord, may we brought together by reverence to you.
  2. You are the foundation of our relationships.
  3. Anything that we haven’t built on you, may it not stand.
  4. We choose to build on the rock that is Christ.
  5. We submit to our wives and husbands for your glory, oh Lord.
  6. May our marriages be established and unbreakable.

Healing and renewal

We are going to pray for marriages that are on the rocks, marriages that are falling apart while we remain oblivious. There is nothing too dead for a resurrection. We are praying for those marriages that either spouse or both have given up on.

The bible says when Jesus arrived at Lazarus’ house, Mary and Martha had given up on his life. Healing was impossible, but resurrection was inconceivable. May the Lord do the inconceivable for your marriage in Jesus’ name. Let love arise!!

Ephesians 4:32

  1. Father soften our hearts. Soften the wives and husbands’ hearts. Cast away all pain and hurt. Cast away all bitterness in Jesus’ name.
  2. Teach us to forgive, and grant grace to a point where it hurts.
  3. Father, you have continued to forgive us, may we show that same love to others.
  4. Heal us of hurt, open our hearts oh Lord.

1 Peter 3:7

  1. Father we pray for all husbands, give them the grace to be of a patient and understanding disposition.
  2. Father teach husbands to honour their wives.
  3. Lord, may their weaknesses be strengthened by their wives’ strengths, and their strengths be their husbands’ strengths in Jesus’ name.
  4. May husbands never look down upon their wives, but view them as equals. In the name of Jesus!
  5. Let our prayers bear results, in Jesus’ name.

Infidelity

Infidelity is a key factor in the break-up of most marriages. We want to pray for resolution and in marriages that have been marred by infidelity. God can heal in all cases. It is not too late for your marriage. Father, where there is hurt, where there is mistrust, where there has been betrayal, dear Lord, help us.

Hebrews 13:4

  1. Father may our marriages bring you honour. Where we have brought you dishonour, we repent.
  2. Lord where we have been wronged and taken our eyes off you to focus on our hurt, help us look up to you.
  3. Where our marriage beds have brought you dishonour, father forgive us.
  4. Father, forgive us for infidelity on our part, or an unforgiving nature where we have been wronged.
  5. May your judgement be merciful in Jesus’ name. Amen

Exodus 20:17

  1. Father may our eyes be in covenant with you. To not look upon others’ wives and husbands.
  2. Where we have looked in lust, Lord forgive us.
  3. Any adulterous desires are cast away in Jesus’ name. Amen

Fruitfulness

Our mandate is one of fruitfulness on this earth. Our marriages are no exception. Our prayer here is that the Lord would grace us to be fruitful in all that we do. May the Lord birth fruitfulness in our relationships, in our homes, in our businesses and in all else that we set our minds to and put our hands to work on. In Jesus’ name. Amen

Genesis 1:22

  1. Father, we pray for fruitful and fulfilling marriages. Open our eyes to traits in ourselves that may be a hindrance to this.
  2. Open our eyes to the opportunity to sow the seed of love and in love.
  3. May our hearts be consumed by your love, that we would not contain but share the fruit of your love.

Divorce

The hardest thing that anyone could possibly go through when it comes to relationships is a divorce. Our key marriage prayer is that the Lord would raise up men and women who have fallen down this pit. Let this not be the end, but a new beginning through Christ.

1 Corinthians 7:15

  1. Father, we pray for healing where marriages have been broken by difference in faith. We pray for peace for both parties.
  2. We pray for children in these situations, cover them oh Lord.
  3. Let this relationship be one that they carry into their future relationships.
  4. Soften hearts for peaceful resolutions.

Ephesians 4:2

  1. Let our hearts be filled with humility, whether we were wrong or wronged.
  2. May meekness be our portion, through Christ.
  3. Even in divorce, let no hatred develop. May love reign.
