31 Days of Praying
for Your Husband
I found this on Pintrest and LOVE it! Won't you all join me in a prayerful 31 days for our hubbies... or future hubbies? Happy Monday!
Bless your husband by praying for him! The Apostle Paul
instructed all Christians to pray for one another (
Ephesians 6:18). This
includes wives’ responsibility and privilege to pray for their husbands.
Earnest prayer for your husband is good for him, for you and the spiritual
health of your home (
Proverbs
31:11-12).
Satan desires to destroy your husband, especially his
character and his leadership in your relationship. Trust God through prayer as
you daily surrender your husband and marriage to the Lord’s wise, loving care.
Day 1 Pray that your husband will grow

guard his heart by developing spiritual disciplines—Bible reading and study,
prayer, meditation, scripture memorization, etc. (
