Wife's Pray over Her Husband
Praising
God and praying His will for your spouse is guaranteed to be your most
rewarding work as his wife. With these five powerful prayers, you will be
arming your marriage with God’s Word and investing in his role as your
spiritual leader.
Satisfaction in God Alone
I
praise You, the God of all wisdom for husbands. Thank You, God, for knowing the
longings of my husband’s heart far better than I do. You know why he hungers
for ______ and ______. You know how these yearnings affect his decisions and
how those decisions affect our marriage.
You are
the God who satisfies the longing soul. You fill the hungry soul with good
things. Here is My husband’s heart and soul, Lord. I lift him up to You and ask
You to fill him with the good You know He needs (Psalm 107:9; Matthew 6:8).
The
world offers my husband’s so many things to temporarily satisfy his needs.
Temptations abound, but You are his shield and his defender. Please train
him to resist the devil (Psalm 28:7; Psalm 59:9; James 4:7).
I
celebrate that You triumph over every one of Satan’s schemes and the scars he
has left on my husband’s heart. You are Jehovah Rapha, My Husband’s Healer. You
are the restorer of his soul. Let the balm of Your perfect love and mercy touch
the brokenness of his heart (Genesis 50:20; Exodus 15:26; Psalm 23:3; Jeremiah 17:14).
You
joined Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, and when they came
out unharmed, they didn’t even smell like smoke. Use their courage to inspire my
Husband’s to fear You only. I trust You
to give him rest and satisfaction while protecting him from harm (Daniel 3:8–30; Proverbs 19:23).
A Man of Your Word
Father,
Your Word amazes me. The world is looking for the next “perfect” solution to
their problems, and You are always offering it through Your Word. You sent Your
Word to deliver, nourish, and counsel us. My heart’s desire is for my husband
to feast on Your Word and find It immensely satisfying (Psalm 107:20; Proverbs 3:8; Psalm 119:24; 103).
With
Your Word as His source of wisdom, I will rest secure in his leadership of our
home. I trust Your Word to fill my husband with the insight he will need for
our relationship, his work, and so much more (Ephesians 1:8,17; James 1:5).
Your
Word will unite his heart to Yours. His oneness with You will lead his pursuit
of oneness with me. Your ways will become His ways. Your faithfulness to me
will become His faithfulness to me (1 Corinthians 6:17; Mark 10:8; Galatians 5:23).
Send
him an abundance of confidants whose faith in You is bold and courageous. Let
them be men who do not lean on their own understanding, but always acknowledge
You and Your Word (Psalm 119:63; Proverbs 28:1; 3:5–6).
Humility: The Courage to Admit His Need of God
Thank
You, Father for the gift of Jesus and His perfect example of humility. Jesus
displayed His love for us with great humility and submissiveness to You. He
denied Himself the comforts of heaven to save us. He chose to experience
temptations, mockery, rejection, and even death. He rated our needs higher than
His own.
You
require my husband to love me as Christ loved the church. With great love for my
husband, I’m asking You to empower him to do this (Ephesians 5:25).
You
know the pressure _____ feels to be successful and strong. You know how he is
influenced to be self-reliant. You understand his fears and insecurities. He is
simply human and at risk of denying his need for You, God. I do not want to see
him destroy his life or our marriage because of pride (Proverbs 18:12).
I bring
____ to You, the river of life, and ask You to anoint him with a supernatural
portion of Christ’s humility. With it he will be a ready recipient of Your
grace. He will be free to boast about his weaknesses to You and wait for You to
satisfy his needs with Your strength (Psalm 36:8; James 4:6; 2 Corinthians 11:30, 12:9–10).
You’ve
promised that humility is rewarded with riches, honor, and life. Those are
gifts I want for my husband, Lord. Help him to let go of any pride and false
humility so that he can enjoy the abundant life Jesus died to give him (Proverbs 22:4; John 10:10).
Your Praise on His Lips
There
is no one who compares to You, Lord. You are worthy of our spellbound attention
(1 Samuel 2:2; Psalm 16:8).
Give
______ eyes to see that You deserve the highest praise. Let him personally
experience Your grandeur and strength. Let him live with great conviction that
Jesus has authority over all things on earth and in the spiritual realm (Psalm 145:3; Ephesians 1:22).
You
inhabit the praises of Your people, and I want ____ 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 _____ so that his lips always acknowledge Your name
(Psalm 22:3; Philippians 2:10; Hebrews 13:15)
Teach him to praise You
in his lowest moments. Train him to exalt Your name during the trials and
before the victories. Let his faith in You lead him courageously into our own
promised land despite the ominous giants of fear and doubt. Use the psalmists to
mentor him in lifting His head to praise Your faithfulness despite his present
burdens (1 Corinthians
15:57; 2 Chronicles 20; Numbers 13–14; Psalm 43:5).
Transform His Wife
You
have promised _____ that a wife is a good gift from you. I want to be an
excellent wife to my husband, one who consistently brings him honor (Proverbs 18:22, 12:4).
You
know every one of my weaknesses and how they are impacting my role as ____’s
helpmate. Lead me, Lord, to recognize the ungodliness hiding in my will, my
expectations, and how I express my emotions. I want to surrender them to You
for healing. Show me where I am investing my attention in things that will
deteriorate my relationship with _____ (2 Corinthians 12:9–10; Luke 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:18; Ephesians 1:8,17).
Let the
power of Your Word transform my motives. Coach me relentlessly to be a wife who
respects her husband in word and deed. Cause Your tenderness, gentleness,
kindness, and humility to become my own (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 5:22–24; Colossians 3:12).
I want
to be a content wife who does not harass my husband with quarrels and
fretfulness. Please use me to create a peaceful home for him. Use me to
encourage him, bear his burdens, and reflect Your extravagant love for him (Hebrews 13:5; Philippians 4:11–12; 2 Thessalonians 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Galatians 6:2; Ephesians 3:18–19).
May our
souls feast on only on You (Psalm 63:5).
I pray
these things with complete confidence in Jesus and Your Spirit at work in our
marriage. Amen.
