7 Guided Prayers For Your HusbandExemplo

A Prayer for Friends and Mentors

Heavenly Father, “as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17), please send godly mentors and friends to my husband. You have placed us on earth in the context of community because it is our interaction with each other that promotes our growth and helps to develop our character. As Your Word says in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” I praise You for the wisdom of relationships and thank You for the godly men You have put in my husband’s relational circle throughout his life. Please deepen these relationships and bring more spiritual men to him in order to mentor him into a person who exhibits Christ’s character in all he does.

Use this portion to thank God specifically for any godly friends that your husband has or has had over the course of his life. These can also include family members. Ask God to bless these men and enrich their lives because of the impact they’ve had in your husband’s life. If your husband has not had many godly male friends, ask God to bring a couple of them into his life and to cause your husband’s heart to be open to receiving them. Also ask God to open your heart to sharing your husband with them.

Gracious Lord, please surround my husband with men and mentors who guide him in the ways of wisdom, right living, kindness, commitment, and a deep love for You and for his family. I pray that You bless him with like interests with these men and provide them with learning experiences that they can share together, as well as occasions of fun and fellowship. Help me to be willing to share my husband’s emotions and time so that he can develop and sustain relationships with these men, and I pray that the richness of their relationships will overflow into our marriage and into our home. 

In Christ’s name, amen.
