Cover Him Prayers: Intentional Prayers for Your HusbandSample

Day 1: His Relationship with God

Scripture
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
— Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

Devotional Thought
Let’s be real: sometimes our husbands need a gentle nudge (okay, maybe a not-so-gentle nudge) to keep God in the center of their lives. Between work, family, and everything in between, it’s easy for anyone to get distracted. But you and I know that when he prioritizes his relationship with God, everything else falls into place a little easier. When he puts God first, he becomes not only the husband we adore but the man God designed him to be.

Today, let’s cover him in prayer for his relationship with the Lord to deepen, strengthen, and overflow into everything he does. This isn’t just about him; it’s about both of you growing closer to God and, in turn, closer to each other.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for my husband and for the unique purpose You have for his life. Today, I lift him up in prayer, asking that You draw him closer to You. Let his heart seek You above all else, and may he be captivated by Your love and truth.

Lord, give him a hunger for Your Word, an excitement to spend time with You, and a boldness to live his faith. I pray that he will seek You first in all his decisions, knowing that You are the foundation of true wisdom and strength. Guide his steps, surround him with Your presence, and protect his relationship with You above everything else.

Today, I declare that my husband will intentionally cultivate a relationship with You, Lord, that he will put You at the center of his life, and that he will prioritize his walk with You. May his faith be a wellspring that blesses our marriage, our family, and everyone he encounters. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Declaration
Today, I declare that my husband’s relationship with God is thriving! He is anchored in faith, grounded in the Word, and living out his calling with a passion that inspires everyone around him.

Personal Note
(Take a few minutes to reflect on ways you see God working in your husband’s life or jot down a note of encouragement to share with him today. Consider leaving a sweet reminder or verse for him where he’ll find it later!)
