Praying Over Your Husband's Head

DAY 3 OF 3

Taking the time to reflect on your personal prayer focus regarding your husband's life can give you insight into how you can better use this tool for the good of your family. Spend a moment reflecting on the following thought-provoking questions. Then, use the guided prayer as a catalyst for praying for your husband right now.

  • Who has your husband become in his character because you have prayed for him?  
  • What meaningful achievements has your husband enjoyed in because you prayed for him?  
  • What is one decision your husband has made that you feel is out of God's will? Ask God to intervene to change his mind.
  • What areas would you like to see your husband improve in your marriage and his leadership at home, and commit to praying for those this week.
Gracious Lord, Your Word says first and foremost that if my husband is not treating me with honor and grace, both of our prayers will be hindered. I desire for our prayers to be heard and answered, Lord, so please give him a heart to treat me according to how You want him to do so (1 Peter 3:7). 
Help me to cultivate an atmosphere in our home where he trusts me and desires to treat me with kindness and grace. I also ask that You give quick answers to my husband’s prayers so that he will see the effectiveness of using this spiritual tool in his life and in our home. Let these answers build upon each other so that his prayer muscles will be strengthened and he will look to prayer as a regular part of living life successfully. 
Give me wisdom to know when to speak and when to allow You to correct my husband's thinking. I pray that You will move swiftly when I seek Your intervention in his choices as a way of affirming and building my own confidence in Your intervening Hand. Thank You for hearing my prayers for him and for responding. In Christ’s name, Amen.
