The short answer

Praying for your husband is one of the most powerful things you can do for your marriage. Scripture gives you words to pray for his strength, wisdom, faithfulness, and for God's protection over his heart and mind.

Going Deeper

When you pray for your husband, you are not trying to change him — you are entrusting him to the God who loves him even more than you do. Pray for his inner strength, for integrity in his decisions, and for courage when life presses in. These prayers are not wishful thinking; they carry the power of a God who answers when His people call.
