4 Secrets To Praying For Your HusbandSample

Secret #3: Appeal to God to transform your husband into the image of Christ.

This is the most powerful type of praying. Instead of nagging, ask God to do the very thing He wants — to transform your husband more and more to be like Jesus in his character and conduct. Choose one character quality (such as patience, love or kindness) that you know your husband wishes he had more of … and make that your primary prayer focus.

Secret #4: Appeal to God to draw your husband into a closer relationship with Christ.

Ultimately when this happens, God’s Spirit will empower your husband in every area of his life. Ask God to forgive your husband for past and present sins and to overwhelm him with His mercy and compassion — making Himself known directly to your husband.

You, my friend, are a jewel who holds the power to influence your husband in ways beyond what you may have ever even realized. Yes, you have God’s ear. And His heart. Discover how much He cares as you learn to take everything to Him in prayer.

Heavenly Father, help my husband to make right choices throughout his work life, home life and social life — so that the enemy does not have a stronghold from which to attack our family. Let righteousness guard my husband from immoral advances of other women, pornography or immoral thoughts/desires he may experience for other women. Surround him with Your breastplate of righteousness to protect his honor and heart. And when conflict does arise, let peace both dominate and preserve the sanctity of our relationship and intimacy of our communication and love of the truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
