Praying For Your Husband

[Shimmie]

Hi Ladies:

Here's the entire outline. I added headings for each prayer to make it easier for you to identify the areas of prayer. This will also help you to refer back to the certain prayers and scriptures, later on as you need them.

You can share these prayers with your family , friends , loved ones. Pray as a group.

I'm praying with and for you and your marriages, current and those future. Unmarried Ladies, you WILL be married.

If you so choose. Pray for your future husbands, NOW. They're out there, so why not pray for them starting today. They need you and men are naturally drawn to the women who pray for them. Yes they are.

Praying for Your Husband​

“She does him good….” Proverbs 31:12a​

Bless your husband by praying for him!​

The Apostle Paul instructed all Christians to pray for one another (Ephesians 6:18). ​

[Shimmie]

So what if your not married yet? Can you still do it? Even if your on a detour?

Indeed! Praying ahead of the moment is a wonderful safeguard. Less work after the two of you meet, marry and head for the honeymoon.

 

[Laela]

Not sure if anyone else here is doing this. I'd started later than I'd planned to, but I'm on Day 10 already. I couple the daily prayer with fasting because I think this will help tremendously. God has already been working on hubby in a very positive way and I'm so elated. He "participates" by getting the daily Bible verses by text or email from me.

Ladies, praying for your husband is a blessing in and of itself! I can attest to that. I'll update as I go along. I also had been given Daily Confessions for Husband by a minister at my church; but I'll hold off until this 30-day prayer is over.

If anyone wants a copy of the Daily Confessions, please let me know.

God bless!

 

[yodie]

I'm not married yet, but I'm praying a prayer out of "The Power of a Praying Wife" every night. Funny - I was drifting off late last night, but I had set my alarm clock to remind me to pray. I got myself up and got to praying.

[Highly Favored8]

Thanks Laela... :Rose:

Quick Question: Are these the ones shared by Creflo Dollar? I read something of his which was really a blessing.

 

[Laela]

PRUDENT: Here's the link to the Confessional..>>> http://www.geocities.com/beaconoflight.geo/prayhusband.html

It's in prayer format, giving thanks. The minister recommended repeating this 2-3 X a DAY. I was like ..wow...really?!

I'll start with once a day..haven't started yet. I'm trying to see how it'll fit in w/ the prayer program each morning. Maybe I can just do the confessional at nights...I'll figure something out. You can't talk to God too much..

 

[Laela]

you're welcome Sister Shimmie

No, it's not a Dollar confessional, it's a For Your Husband confessional she founded online Not sure who the author is. I found a variation and just posted it; but I'll have to retype what she gave me, as it's a bit different. The idea is to confess good things over hubby daily.

But I do love that Creffie Cref (as DH calls him)...his confessionals are a blessing, ITA!

Thanks Laela... :Rose:

Beautiful... Thanks so much Sis.

Laela, when I clicked on the next page which had the prayer for his work, immediately, I remembered "Night Beauty". The background on this page is beautiful. And I can feel the love and warmth of the Lord through these prayers.

Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful blessings and prayers for us.

lol @ Creffie Cref Your hubby is a blessing to be known of the Lord :Rose:

 

[paradise1975]

Thank you for this Laela. I have been praying the daily prayers from another thread over my husband and this is definitely a great addition.

 

[Laela]

Ladies,

Here's the prayer that I have:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR YOUR HUSBAND​

Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, lifting up my husband. Father, You said in Your word, “a faithful man who can find?” I thank You Father, for blessing me with a husband that is faithful and true.
I thank You Father, that my husband is a man of God who loves You with all of his heart, all of his soul, all of his strength, and all of his mind. I confess that he allows nothing to come between his relationship with You, or his family, or separate his love from You, or his family.

Father, I thank You that You are the Shepherd and Bishop of his soul. I thank You that he is a man of God who seeks Your face daily for divine directions, instructions and guidance. I pray Father, that as he seeks Your face, that You would be a lamp unto his feet, a light unto his path, and guide him with Your eyes and Your Spirit, as You order his footsteps.

I thank You Father, that he studies to show himself approved unto You, O God, a workman that need not be ashamed, one who knows how to rightfully divide the word of truth. I pray that as he studies Your word, that You would give him revelation knowledge concerning Your word so that he may teach and instruct his family in the word of the Lord.

I take authority over the devil, and over every demonic spirit, every principality, and every spirit of wickedness in high places, and I bind them from my husband’s life. Satan, I command you to loose every hold from my husband’s life, and I render you helpless, and powerless to operate in his life in any area, or hinder his life in any way, by the authority of the name of Jesus Christ.

I thank You Father, that no weapon that is formed against him will be able to prosper, and every tongue which shall rise up against him shall be condemned. I thank You Father, for Your promise to rebuke the devourer from his life, and I pray that You would bless my husband with unlimited measure of Your anointing, so that when the enemy comes against him one way, because of the power and anointing which is upon him, the devil shall be forced to flee from my husband seven different ways.

I thank You Father, that my husband has favor with You; therefore, he has favor with man. I pray that You would bless him to prosper in everything he does. I pray that as he goes on his job, that he will allow his light to so shine before those around him, that they may see his good work, and glorify You, O God.

I thank You Father, that You have given your ministering angels a charge to be encamped around my husband (continually) to protect him, watch over him, and fight for him. I also thank You Father, for giving them a charge to keep my husband in all his ways, physically, as well as spiritually.

I thank You Father, that my husband loves me, even as Jesus Christ loved the church and gave himself for the church. And Father, even as my husband loves me, I thank You that I shall love him and submit myself unto him as unto Christ. I thank You Father, that my husband is crucified with Christ; nevertheless, he lives; yet it is not him that lives, but Jesus Christ living in him; and the life which he now lives in the flesh, he lives by the faith, power, strength, anointing, and guidance of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Father, I pray that You would keep my husband from falling, and present him faultless with exceeding great joy. I pray that You would lead him away from temptation, and deliver him from every trap and snare of the adversary, as You deliver him from all evil.

Father, I commit my husband to You, and I am confident, that according to Your word, You are able to keep him, sustain him, protect him, and direct him in all his ways, as I have committed him unto You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, AMEN!

Re: Praying For Your WIFE

FOR YOUR WIFE​

Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, lifting up my wife. Father, You said in Your word, “Whoever finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favor” with You.

I thank You Father, that You have given me a good thing by blessing me with my wife, and I pray that we find favor with You, through first of all our love for You, and then our love for each other.

Father, I thank you that my wife is a blessing to me in every way. I thank You that she is truly a virtuous woman, her price is far above rubies, and strength and honor are her clothing. I thank You Father, that she does me good and not evil, and that she shall continue to do me good all the days of our lives together.

I thank You Father, that she opens her mouth with Wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness, and I pray that the Glory of the Lord shines bright from her life continually.

Father, I pray that You bless me to continually love my wife as Jesus Christ loved the church, and gave himself for the church. Father, even as I love my wife, I thank You that she loves me and submits herself to me as unto Christ. Father, I pray that You bless me to always be pleased with my wife, and bless her to intimately satisfy me at all times, even to the point where I am ravished with her love.

I thank You Father, that my wife is clothed in Beauty and Charm, and that my eyes are drawn only to her, and enticed only by her. I thank You Father, that my heart safely trusts in her and I desire her so, that I have no need or desire of spoil from any other woman. I thank You Father, that I am not lured or drawn to look upon or lust in the strange woman. I pray that in my wife, are the desires of my heart and my eyes. I thank You Father, that in my eyes, my wife is the most beautiful woman in all the world, and there is none other as desirous or as beautiful as she.

Father, I pray that You would renew her strength, even as You renew our love for each other. I thank You Father, that there is never a dull moment with my wife, and the time which is spent with my wife brings joy and excitement in my heart.

I thank You Father, that my wife seeks You and all of Your righteousness first and foremost in her life; and I pray that You would keep her strengthened, established, and settled in You, Your anointing, and Your power. I thank You Father, that she is a woman of Prayer, who prays effectually and fervently with prayer and supplications, and she studies Your Word (continually) to show herself approved unto You, O God, a workman that need not be ashamed, knowing how to rightly divide the Word of Truth.

I take authority over the devil, and over every demonic spirit, every principality, and every spirit of wickedness in high places, and I bind them from my wife’s life. Satan, I command you to loose every hold from my wife’s life, and I render you helpless, and powerless to operate in her life in any area, or hinder her life in any way, by the authority of the name of Jesus Christ.

I thank You Father that no weapon that is formed against my wife will be able to prosper, and every tongue which shall rise up against her shall be condemned. I thank You Father, for Your promise to rebuke the devourer from her life, and I pray that You would bless my wife a double portion of Your anointing, so that when the enemy comes against her one way, he shall be forced to flee from before her seven different ways. Father, I pray that You would keep my wife from falling, spiritually, as well as physically, and deliver her from every trap and snare of the enemy.

I thank You Father, that my wife has favor with You; therefore, she has favor with Man. I thank You for blessing her to prosper in everything she does. I pray that as she goes on her job, that she will allow the light of Jesus Christ to shine before the people around her, that they may see her good work, and glorify You, O God.

I thank You Father, that You have given Your ministering angels a charge to be encamped around my wife (continually) to protect her, watch over her, fight for her, and to keep her in all her ways.

Now Father, I commit my wife unto You, and I am confident, that according to Your Word, You are able to keep her, sustain her, protect her, and direct her in all her ways, as I have committed her unto You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, AMEN!

Thanks!! You know we all need it since we have our ways too...

 

[Laela]

Now on Day 23 (I had skipped some consecutive days But I kept picking up with the last one I did, so I don't skip any). Anyone else enjoying this prayer journey?

 

[Shimmie]

Now on Day 23 (I had skipped some consecutive days But I kept picking up with the last one I did, so I don't skip any). Anyone else enjoying this prayer journey?

I've been in total agreement with each of those who are praying and even those... not praying for they may not know about this wonderful message.

I 'set' steadfast in prayerful agreement as you pray, Laela. :Rose:

 

[Laela]

Thank you .. Shimmie... sorry for the confusion. I'm on the prayer for your husband posted in the OP post. The confessions I don't do daily -- yet. I'll do them daily when I get through with this one. DH is lifted up in prayer, especially now.

 

[OhmyKimB]

I'll admit I fell off this a little bit and at ties I changed prayers to things I knew he needed. And I do see his mental changing. Even when I'm upset he directs me back to God when he doesn't know exactly what to say which is something new and I love it.

 

[Renewed1]

Thank you Opster for starting this thread. Since the summer God has been tapping me to pray for a husband I haven't seen yet (well at least I don't think I know him).

 

[LovingLady]

Thank God I found this thread, this is very important. :Rose:
