Did you hear about my issue? That secret struggle I had for so long when it came respecting my husband. I confessed it all in my P31 devotion today. As I shared, I haven’t always been so good at following and trusting my man”s lead. BUT God has done an amazing work in me – and in my marriage – over the past 18 years.
I know marriage can be hard, and trusting someone to lead when there are things you struggle with together is really, really hard. But I also know God uses us in powerful ways to love our men like He does – unconditionally.
One of the best ways we can love our husbands is to pray for them. Praying for JJ has shown me all that he carried on his shoulders – at work, at home, at church, with our kids, etc. It’s also really helped me follow his lead. It assures me that he’s covered spiritually when I invite God to do His thing in JJ’s life.
Of course, it’s up to our husbands to respond to God’s work in their hearts but our part is not based on our husband’s response to God. It’s based on our surrendering and seeking God’s heart for our husbands – and trusting God to lead from there.
JJ has also told me that prayer is the best gift I can give him. Years ago I heard a concept about praying for our husbands – from head to toe. So, today I wanted to share some verses and prayers that fit with that concept:
Head
“Father, I ask that You would continually renew my husband’s mind, resulting in a transformed life. Help him bring every thought into captivity to Christ to make it obedient to You. Give him a greater understanding of Your Word. Help him to think on things that are pure and right and worthy of praise.” (Psalm 119:15, Rom 12:2, 2 Cor.10:5)
Eyes
“Lord, keep opening my husband’s eyes to deep spiritual truths. Help him to see things as You see them. Please guard his eyes from looking at worthless things. ” (Psalm 119:18, Psalm 119:37)
Ears
“Father, let my husband hear Your voice clearly. Help him to recognize your voice with certainty. Protect him from listening to anyone who is not seeking and walking with You. Help him not to be affected negatively by what others say and to discern between good and evil. Give him the ability to determine what is of You and what is not.” (Is 30:21, 1 Kings 3:9, 1 John 4:1)
Mouth
“Help my husband to speak the truth in love. Help him to be quick to listen and slow to speak. Give him the couraage to lovingly confront when necessary. Let the words he speaks be Yours, not his own. Help him speak words that bring grace and truth to the hearers. I also pray that you will help him to grow in his ability and desire to communicate with you and others.” (Psalm 19:14, 119:13, 41:3; Eph 4:15, 4:29; James 1:19)
Heart
“Give my husband a heart that seeks passionately after You. Teach him to guard his heart with diligence. Help him deal with anything in his heart that is not pleasing to You. Create in him a pure heart. Enable him to lead our family with integrity.” (Psalm 78:72, 119:10-11; Prov 4:23; 1 3:13)
Hands
“Lord, I pray that everything my husband does would be done with his whole heart, serving You rather than man. I pray that You will also help him to increase his skills and his abilities. Bless everything he puts his hands to.” (Psalm 24:3-4, Col 3:23)
Feet
I pray my husband would love Your Words and walk in Your ways. I pray He would be to walk in a manner that is worthy of You, bearing fruit in every good work. Jesus show him how to creatively share your truth with our kids as he does life with them each day. Father, when he walks through the valley of the shadow of doubt and difficulties, I pray he would fear no evil because He knows that you are with him. (Deut 6:7, 8:6, Col 1:10, Psalm 23:4)
I have seen prayer transform my marriage and my life. Whatever steps of faith God is calling you to take personally or with your husband, I want you to know that I am praying for you and your marriage today. We have an enemy set on destroying marriages and one of his tools is to pit husbands and wives against each other. I have experienced his efforts firsthand. What our husbands need most is our respect; what our marriages need most is prayer.
Let’s look for ways to build our husbands up – by giving them encouraging words and the gift of prayer – covering them from head to toe!

was confuse to hear that cause i really trust him but i know that this
will happen since he go for a trip, but i still love him, and it come to
a period were my husband drove me out of the house and i did not have
any one to run to then i went to my friend house and stay with her for
six months but my children were still with him but he was treating them
like a slave just because he was in love with another woman, i said no i

I know God brought me to this site. My husband and I are moving forward to rebuild our marriage after his affair. These prayers are so powerful and I believe as I pray for him God will bring forgiveness to my heart. Thank you.
Praying for you and with you Jana!! As I read this I can relate as I have watched this happen in my family so many times! My mom to my dad and my brother to his wife! You are a mighty mighty strong woman to work through this and stand by him and pray for him! I am sure some days are hard and very trying. I never went through it personally but yet I did just having to see the experience as a kid!! One thing I have learned now in life is “pray for my husbands strengths…and pray for my weaknesses!” It always has humbled me to see I haven’t arrived…yet opens me up to the things my husband actually does right! Not easy all the time but it has helped me 🙂
I would like to take you up on your offer for the download. Thank you
Hello Renee,
I have always been a believer of Christ but at the same time I never understood why He wasn’t answering my prayers. In 2000 I became very angry at the Lord, I blamed Him for taking my grandmother from me (she was more like a mom to me than a grandma to me and she was the only mother figure I had in my life when I was a child). I was even more mad, hurt, and angry at Him because I didn’t get to say good bye or tell her that I loved her. I held this anger for about 12 years, during those 12 years, I refused to step foot back in church (grandma is the one that took me to church and her funeral was there as well). Almost 12 years to the day something told me that I needed to go to church, so I did (we have lots of churches where I come from but there is only one church that made me feel welcome, loved, and like family and that’s East valley Foursquares where grandma took me). I have been attending church again almost every week. Now I never stopped believing in the Lord but even after I built the courage to go back I still felt like my prayers were not being answered, I wasn’t hearing the Lord speak to me———-Until I attended ALPHA-PLUS (which was help at my church) Tonight was the last night of ALPHA til next year and I could not thank God enough for guiding me to ALPHA. I finally realized, why I couldn’t hear the Lord and why I thought my prayers weren’t being answered. I had not given myself to the Lord, and I had not asked him to be my Lord and Savior. Needless to say (and there is a lot I could say) I died and was born again. My Life has completely changed and I could be happier. Here’s the thing, my husband is not standing where I am any more, he is still in my old life, he is full of anger and frustration always on edge and negative. The enemy is using him to get to me and it’s not pretty. I have been trying to get him to walk with me and the kids out of the old and into the new but it’s not easy. I need my husband and the enemy is pulling him away. I would love so much if you could send me your download so I can pray with my husband, for my husband. Also if there is anything else you could send that could help would be great. I am not going to let the enemy win I will fight till there is no more fighting to be done. Sorry, I went off for so long but I feel great walking with God, thank you so much for listening and for helping. God Bless you
