Prayers For Husbands

Since praying for our husbands is EXTREMELY important, especially when we’re standing for marriage restoration, Proverbs 21:1 is VERY reassuring, because it says The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. And we can’t let ANYTHING we see or hear convince us otherwise, even our husbands’ own actions and words, because Jeremiah 10:23 tells us I know, O LORD, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. And that’s confirmed in Proverbs 16:9, which says In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. And Proverbs 20:24 even says A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way? So stand in the gap for your husband, and speak life and death to the issues now affecting the restoration of your marriage, by using the following restoration prayers to release the awesome power of God as He works to change and/or save your husband while you stand in faith and obedience for the restoration of your marriage. Pray them daily, even several times a day. Additional prayers may be submitted for inclusion here, so check back occasionally to see if new ones have been added.

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:20-21

That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who brings into existence what didn’t exist before.
Romans 4:17 (NLT)

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2

Dear Lord, I give you praise and honor that _____’s mind is steadfast, because he
trusts in You, and You will always keep him in perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3
And thank You that he will always listen to You and live in safety and at ease, without
fear of harm or evil. Proverbs 1:33
And I give You praise Lord, that _____ is blessed, and does not walk in the counsel
of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. I thank
You that he delights in your law, and that he meditates on your word day and night,
and that he is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in
season and whose leaf does not wither. And thank You that whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 1:1-3
I thank You Lord, that _____ does not forget what Your word teaches and that he keeps
your commands in his heart, prolonging his life for many years and bringing him prosperity.
Thank You that love and faithfulness never leave him, because they are bound around
his neck, and written in his heart. And that he will always have favor and a good
reputation, and that he trust in You with all his heart and does not rely on his
own understanding. I thank You that he acknowledges You in all his ways and that
You make his path straight. Proverbs 3:1-6
And that he accepts your word and stores up your commands in his heart, and turns
his ear to wisdom and applies his heart to understanding. I thank You that he calls
out for insight and understanding, looking for it as for silver, and searching for
it as for hidden treasure. And I give praise that he understands the fear of You
LORD, and finds your knowledge, because You give wisdom, and from your word comes
knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:1-6
So he will always understand what is right and just and fair, and he understands
every good path. May wisdom and knowledge always be in his heart and pleasant to
his soul, and may discretion and understanding always protect and guard him. Proverbs
2:9-11
Father, may _____ always keep your commands and never forsake your teaching. Bind
them upon his heart forever; fasten them around his neck. When he walks, let them
guide him; when he sleeps, let them watch over him; when he awakes, let them speak
to him. For your commands are a lamp, your teaching is a light, and the corrections
of discipline are the way to life, keeping him from the immoral woman, from the smooth
tongue of the wayward wife. Let him not lust in his heart after her beauty or let
her captivate him with her eyes, for the prostitute would reduce him to a loaf of
bread, and the adulteress would prey upon his very life. Proverbs 6:20-26
And I thank You that your wisdom saves him from the ways of wicked people, from anyone
whose words are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who
delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways. And that it saves him from the adulteress, from
a wayward wife with seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored
the covenant she made before You. She would lead him down to destruction, because
none who go to her return or attain the paths of life. Therefore, I thank You for
leading him to walk in the ways of good men and keeping to the paths of the righteous.
Proverbs 2:12-20
Thank You Lord, that _____ will always respond to your rebuke, and that You pour
out your heart to him and make your thoughts known to him. And that he never rejects
You when You call, and that he always gives heed when You stretch out your hand.
And he does not ignore your advice or fail to accept your rebuke, and that You will
never laugh if he experiences disaster, or mock if calamity overtakes him. Proverbs
1:23-26
And I thank You Lord, for filling him with the knowledge of your will through all
spiritual wisdom and understanding, and that he lives a life worthy of You and pleases
You in every way. And thank You that he is bearing fruit in every good work, growing
in the knowledge of You, being strengthened with all power according to your glorious
might, and for his great endurance and patience. And that he joyfully gives thanks
to You Lord, because You have qualified us to share the inheritance in your kingdom
of light. For You have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into
the kingdom of the Son You love, in whom we have redemption and forgiveness of our
sins. For by Him all things were created, all things in heaven and on earth, visible
and invisible, all things were created by Him and for Him. Colossians 1:9-16
For this reason I kneel before You Father and pray that out of your glorious riches
You will strengthen _____ with power through your Spirit in his inner being, so that
Christ will dwell in his heart through faith. And I pray that he, being rooted and
established in Your love, will always grasp how wide and long and high and deep is
the love of your Son Jesus Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that
he may be filled to the measure of all of your fullness. Now to You who are able
to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to Your power that
is at work within us, to You be glory in the church and in our marriage, and in Christ
Jesus for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21
