3 Ways To Pray For Your HusbandSample

Lastly, we move into the portion of prayer where you ask for God's intervention. We started with praising God and focusing on His character attributes and gifts. Next, we went to thanking God for the aspects of marriage or our spouse which produces gratitude. And once the foundation of praise and thanksgiving is set, you are free to boldly approach God with your needs of intervention or requests for blessings.

When you do, you will discover like King Jehoshaphat in today's passage that God Himself can rout the enemy (Satan), turn things around, or deliver your husband from whatever it is you are seeking on his behalf. 

Whether you use a guided prayer like this one or you opt to follow another pattern of prayer from Scripture, remember, the main thing is your abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.

Pray for blessings and intervention. (Remember: this portion of prayer is dedicated to asking God to either bless or intervene in certain areas of your marriage or in your husband's life.)

Gracious Lord, James 1:19 says, “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." Help my husband and me to remember this when we communicate with each other. Help us to always lead with love, and give each other the benefit of the doubt in understanding what the other seeks to communicate. 

Give us a relationship that’s conducive to being open, honest and authentic with each other. Help us in our busy schedules to cultivate time to focus on communication. 

Give me courage to discuss those troubling areas in my life and marriage and not withdraw in silent or hidden frustration. Help me speak about these areas to my husband in love with open honesty. Grant my husband an open and receptive heart without anger or defensiveness. 

Please also add an element of greater spontaneity and fun into our communication. Let us flirt with each other more in what we say and how we say it, and revive in us a spirit of playfulness and cheer. 

Lord, as You know - there are certain aspects of our communication where we struggle and misunderstand one another. Please intervene. Give us clarity of thought and respect for each other. Help us discern what the other person is communicating. Also, help us to have a gentle spirit toward each other. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Use this pattern of prayer on any need you have in your marriage - that of praising God, thanking God, and then asking for His blessings or intervention - and watch how God moves to meet you and your spouse in a new and fresh way.
