Do you want to know how to pray for your future husband? Are you a list person who loves bullet points?
Girl, I got you covered :)
A while back, I brainstormed a list of 20 different ways I could pray for my future husband. Today, I’m sharing that list with you. Yay!
First off, though, If you don’t know why it’s important that you pray for your future husband, I encourage you to read the post 5 Reasons Why You Should Pray For Your Future Husband first, and then come back to this post :)
There are three broad categories of things we can pray for our future husbands:
1) Our future husbands’ relationship with God
This is the one thing I pray for my future husband more than anything else. In my opinion, if his relationship with God is right, then everything else will fall into place.
2) Our future husbands’ relationship with other people
Yes, I want his relationship with God to be first and foremost in his life, but he also has to interact with others on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, I think it is also important to pray for your future husband’s relationships with other people.
3) Our future husband as a person
These are the personal characteristics that we would like our future husbands to have.
However, it is important to note that the list that I’m about to give you should not be treated as a “future husband wish list.” No person is perfect or has ever been perfect- except for Jesus. So, expecting perfection from our future husbands is just unfair.
Alright, so now that you know the broad categories, let’s get to the specific list :)
For his relationship with God…
- Pray that he may love the Lord more than everything
- Pray that he may long to read the Bible and hide God’s words in his heart
- Also, pray that he may become a prayer warrior
- Lastly, that he would trust God with every aspect of his life
For his relationships with people…
- Pray for his parents and any siblings and that they would love and respect each other
- Pray for his friends and that they may have fun together and make great memories and help each other grow in their walks with God
- When it comes to his work, pray for any coworkers he may have and that they would get along and support each other
- Pray for him and his church and that he may find people with whom to connect and serve. Also that he may be a part of a church that teaches the truth of the Bible and enables him to grow in his faith in Jesus
- Pray that he may bless anyone he meets
For him as a person…
- Pray for his leadership skills
- For patience
- Pray that he may have many reasons to laugh
- For strength in character/ courage
- For humility
- Pray that God would protect him and keep him healthy
- That God would give him hopes and dreams
- For purity
- That he may have a good day today
- Pray that he would be able to forgive those he needs to forgive
- For wisdom
Another great way to brainstorm what to pray is to pray through Scripture.
Find passages in the Bible that speak to wives and husbands, or men in the church, and pray for those qualities for your husband. (There are many such passages in the letters in the New Testament)
If you’re not sure how to do this, I wrote a free “Praying For Your Future Husband eGuide” that contains five sample prayers filled with Scripture to show you how you can pray Scripture over your future husband.
Most importantly, just simply pray that he becomes the man God wants him to be. And trust God to lead him to Himself and bring him to you in God’s perfect timing.
