10 Things to Pray for Your Husband
- Grant him more than enough income to provide for your family.
- Give him success in all that he puts his hands to.
- Recharge him at home more than at work or play.
- Help him develop friendships with other men that would encourage, validate, bless, and focus him on who God says he is.
- May he will see you as his helpmate and may you be his best friend, supporter, and lover (Proverbs 5:18-19).
- Make your image the model of beauty for him. (This is a concept I got from Gary Thomas’ book, Sacred Marriage)
- Help him to know that you believe in him, trust his decisions for the family, and are proud of what he is able to accomplish at work.
- May both of you take every opportunity to bless each other and allow the Holy Spirit to be the one to convict of sin.
- Allow him to truly enjoy time with Jesus and look to Him for direction and life to give to the family.
- Open his eyes to God’s plan for his life. May the plan he was created for and would stir up energy and passion in him.

PSALM 20
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; 2 May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion; 3 May He remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah 4 May He grant you according to your heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose.5 We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. 6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God. 8 They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright. 9 Save, Lord! May the King answer us when we call.
