Did you know the specific traits and qualities you desire in a husband can be turned into real prayer points?
God cares about what your heart craves.
The same power that is released when you intercede for others’ breakthroughs, is released when you intercede for your future husband.
But, how do you know when to pray to make sure you’re not obsessing about marriage? You want to be active in faith, but not overwhelmed by the desire. So there must be balance in intercession.
My advice is to pray over his life as you are led by the Holy Spirit. This will help you not become consumed or distracted by the desire for marriage. When the desire is stirred within you that’s when you should pray. Also, if you have a negative thought or emotion about your singleness turn those low emotions into moments of power prayer!
Five prayer points for your future husband
His relationship with Christ
His spiritual fortitude
His spiritual resilience
His finances and favor
His physical and mental health
Here are some prayers to pray from The Single Woman’s Prayer Book that give you the words when you are unsure of what to say in prayer. You can also pray in your heavenly prayer language (Romans 8:26) to release perfect prayers over his life.
For His Relationship with ChristÂ
Lord, keep my future husband’s heart close to you at all times. I ask that your angels guide and protect him so that he will never be pulled away from you. Teach him your voice and how to flow with your will for his life. Give him every confirmation he needs to rest assured that it is your Spirit leading and guiding him. Give him a spirit of obedience and submission to Â
follow your leadership as you direct his footsteps. Bless his life with grace and peace as he walks with Christ in every area of his life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
For His Identity in Christ
Father, I pray that you help my future husband to find his identity in Christ only, not from the world, friends, family, or society. I pray that he can hear from your voice clearly and that you alone define who he is as a man, father, brother, servant, friend, leader, and future husband. I pray that Your Word has authority in his life and not the words of others or made-up words in his mind. Help him to discern guidance directly from heaven or satanic guidance trying to lead him astray. Draw his heart close to you and continue directing his path towards godliness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
For His Strength
Lord, I pray that you give my future husband supernatural strength in his single season. Help him not to succumb to the desires of the flesh or the pride of life, chasing money or women. Also, strengthen his mind when facing the challenges of this world and the weight of the responsibility he has presently in his life. Remind him that you are his Helper and that your grace is sufficient for him when he needs Heaven’s help. Surround him with high-quality, Spirit-filled, and Spirit-led men who will encourage him on his path of godly living. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
