7 Guided Prayers For Your HusbandExemplo

A Prayer for Courage

Heavenly Father, my husband’s strength and courage are to come directly from You. You teach us that we are to be “strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Courage and confidence are rooted and grounded in a love relationship with Jesus Christ. I praise You that through the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ, my husband has direct access to You in order to tap into all You are and all You are willing to share with him. Thank You for Your abundant power and the reality that You are the one who is ultimately waging warfare in the spiritual realms on our behalf. I praise You that my husband is not fighting for victory but rather he is fighting from a position of victory—the victory You have already achieved on our behalf.

Reflect on areas where your husband has shown courage in your home, in your marriage, at work, or in any issues that he has faced. Thank God specifically for these times and ask God to strengthen your husband in any areas where you feel he may still need to grow in obtaining greater courage. Be sure to focus on specific areas where you believe your husband may be under spiritual attack and intervene on his behalf to ask the Lord to give him the tools, wisdom, and strength he needs to face it and overcome it well. 

Gracious Lord, I pray You will give my husband wisdom and courage to put on the full armor of spiritual weapons rather than try to fight the issues and circumstances he faces in his own strength. Help him understand that it takes great courage to wage war with unseen forces. Remind him faith is an act of courage. My husband’s struggles are not seen, but are struggles against rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world, and spiritual forces of evil. He must battle with Your might to overcome them. Make me his encourager. Help us both walk in the courageous victory that is ours in Christ Jesus, our Lord. 

In Christ’s name, amen.
