Let’s be real—marriage is beautiful, but it’s also hard work. If you’re looking for bible verses to pray over your husband, you’re on the right track. I certainly don’t know everything about making marriage work, but I do know this one thing for sure. We don’t have all the control we would like to have as women caring for our families and that can drive us crazy with worry. But the prayers of a loving and God-fearing wife are powerful prayers. So one of the best ways to love your husband (especially when life gets tough) is through prayer. Praying over your husband’s heart, health, and work is such a meaningful way to show him love and trust God’s plan for his life and yours.
I started praying bible verses over my husband around ten years ago when I happened to find a page in my bible at the time with verses and prayers to pray over your husband. You don’t have to find eloquent words. I didn’t do anything but read the words out loud and meditate on them each day. It gave me comfort in difficult times in our marriage, it helped me release control to God, and I’m sure it helped my husband.
The Bible is full of powerful scriptures to help guide your prayers. Whether you’re a seasoned prayer warrior or just figuring out where to start, these verses will inspire you to cover your husband in prayer daily.
