As wives, we have the special privilege and responsibility to be our husbands’ number one prayer warriors. No one else is likely to pray for them as passionately or intimately as we will. And those prayers are a powerful force! Not only in our husbands’ lives, but in ours, as well. The prayers we pray for our husbands often end up shaping our hearts as much as they shape theirs.

Our prayers don’t have to be wordy and complicated to be effective. A consistent habit of praying short, simple prayers throughout the day is often easier to establish than large blocks of dedicated prayer time. Regardless of what they look or sound like, you can trust that God will honor your faithful prayers.

To help all of us become more diligent and fervent prayer warriors for our husbands, I’ve written 10 prayers to pray over different areas of their lives. Whether you use them as a guide to get started, or you pray them word-for-word, I hope they encourage you to pray daily for your husband.
