Praying for Your Husband: Covering Your Husband in Faith & PowerSample

Marriage is one of God’s most beautiful gifts, but it’s also a spiritual battleground. Our husbands face pressures, temptations, and responsibilities every single day. The good news? As wives, God has given us the privilege and power to intercede for them in prayer.

This devotional is not about “fixing” your husband—it’s about faithfully lifting him up before the Lord and trusting God to work in his life. Over the next five days, you’ll cover your husband in faith: his heart, his mind, his work, his relationships, and his spirit.

When you pray for your husband, you’re not only blessing him—you’re strengthening your marriage and inviting God’s presence more deeply into your home.

Day 1 – Covering His Heart

Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

Devotional:
Your husband’s heart is the wellspring of his life. Everything he does—how he loves, leads, works, and even how he faces trials—flows from what’s inside his heart. That’s why the enemy loves to attack it with discouragement, bitterness, pride, or fear.

As a wife, one of your most powerful roles is to cover his heart in prayer. You may not always be able to change his circumstances, but you can stand in the gap and ask God to strengthen and protect him where it matters most—his inner life.

Think about it: your prayers can become a shield around his emotions, his confidence, and his courage. When you ask God to guard his heart, you’re not only protecting him, you’re helping secure the foundation of your marriage and family.

Your husband may never fully know the battles you fight for him in prayer—but he will feel the difference.

Prayer:
Lord, I lift my husband’s heart to You today. Protect it from lies, discouragement, and bitterness. Fill him with courage, peace, and joy that come from You alone. Help his heart stay soft toward You and toward me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Challenge:
Write down one area of your husband’s heart you want to cover in prayer today (such as peace, courage, or healing). Pray over it three times—morning, afternoon, and evening.
