Praying Over Your Husband's Headಮಾದರಿ

Are you unsure of how to best pray for your husband? Do you struggle to find the courage and words to take you to higher level of influence in your marriage?

Prayer is one of the most beautiful tools you can use for the direction of your home, but trying to know his heart and pray with intention can feel overwhelming. You can't understand his every spiritual need for direction and guidance—but God knows.

That's why God has placed you as a powerful force of prayer for your husband's life. Move from uncertainty to assurance as you devote yourself daily to conversation with the Lord who created, knows, and fiercely loves your husband.

Here is a guided prayer to move you in this direction:

Heavenly Father, I ask that You will enable us as a couple to refrain from drawing conclusions, making assumptions or reacting emotionally when we have not yet sought to clarify the cause of our conflict through seeking to understand both the truth of the actions and the intentions behind the actions. 

Help my husband to live in such a way – making 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. 

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. If my husband has made a decision outside of your will, I ask that You will intervene to change his direction before he moves us too far forward the wrong way. Give my husband wisdom to discern your leading and help me to refrain from criticizing him. In Christ’s name, Amen.
