31 Days of Praying for Your Husband

She does him good. (Prov. 31:12a)
Bless your husband by praying for him!
The Apostle Paul instructed all Christians to pray for one another (Eph. 6:18). This
includes wives’ responsibility and privilege to pray for their husbands. Earnest prayer for
your husband is good for him, for you and the spiritual health of your home (Prov.
31:11-12). Satan desires to destroy your husband, especially his character and his
leadership in your relationship. Trust God through prayer as you daily surrender your
husband and marriage to the Lord’s wise, loving care.
